Nice. What did the whole thing end up costing you?

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

Should be the same procedure, the part moved slightly but the steps match.

I did the same repair last month and your step 3 is where I got stuck. Wish I had this then.

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