The wires ends were showing signs of corrosion, so I elected to replace them with a 3-prong receptacle running new electrical cable and male plug on DR cable adding 2 additional outlets to run 4 DR's. The 3-prong is an insert twist lock providing what I felt was added security to stay in place. For corrosion preventative its dielectric.
Were you able to just cut the old plug off and install the new one or was the wires corroded as well? I have an issue like this on a DR I just received. Would you mind posting a link to the plug you bought to replace your old one?
