I don't disagree. But if the cord is bad (for whatever reason), I think the whole pump has to go.
I suppose that if I have to replace the whole thing, I could try just replacing the plug on the end of the cord, first. The cord makes a tight turn there to get into the box.
It's probably a fool's errand. But it might be worth a few bucks just to check before replacing the entire pump.
For all I know, it's some moisture that has built up inside the pump and not the cord itself. Doesn't really matter since I can't separate them.
