Glad it helped.
The embedded video is clearer than the official service manual, which is a little embarrassing for the manufacturer.

Unplug it. Always. Takes two seconds and the worst case otherwise is a trip to the ER.
Can confirm, the cheap part is the one that fails. Replaced mine twice before reading this.
Upvoted for the safety notes alone.
This is the kind of post that makes this place worth it.
Should be the same procedure, the part moved slightly but the steps match.
