Question: do you need to disconnect power for this or is it safe to leave it plugged in?

Right around what the post says, give or take shipping.

Can confirm, the cheap part is the one that fails. Replaced mine twice before reading this.

Would this work on the older model? Mine is about ten years older than the one shown.
