Dawlance 9170 plug wire needs replacement

The reported issue is that the refrigerator’s plug wire needs replacement. The available details do not establish whether a particular cord or plug is compatible, and they do not provide a verified part number.

“9170” is not enough to select a replacement. The complete model/type number on the appliance identification label is needed so service can check the exact variant. Do not treat a general listing or a part described only as “for 9170” as proof of fit.

Use a qualified appliance technician or Dawlance authorized service for the cord assessment and replacement. The useful outcome to request is confirmation of the exact appliance variant and the correctly rated, grounded cord for it—not merely a generic cord match.

After the correct part has been identified, use the service provider’s verified part details when comparing current offers. If the provider cannot confirm compatibility from the information available, do not assume a substitute fits.

The part to investigate is a model-appropriate refrigerator power cord or supply lead. No manufacturer part number or alternative number has been verified for this request. The reported model, Dawlance 9170, is therefore a starting point for identification, not a compatibility verdict.

Give service the complete model/type number from the refrigerator label. Have the replacement checked for its electrical rating, plug type and grounding, and ask whether the identified part is the required cord or a larger supplied assembly. Do not choose a substitute based only on a similar appearance or a broad model-family claim.

Check a spare part number before you buy

Replacing a refrigerator mains cord involves electrical connections. An incorrectly rated or poorly connected cord can create electric-shock or fire risk, and an unsuitable plug or cord can compromise protective grounding. For those reasons, this case calls for qualified service rather than do-it-yourself replacement instructions.

Do not splice or patch the damaged lead, and do not use an ungrounded replacement plug. If the damaged area is exposed or unsafe to approach, do not touch it; arrange service.

Replacing an appliance's mains supply cord involves electrical connections and must use the correct rated, grounded part. Dawlance guidance says not to operate a damaged refrigerator and to consult service for concerns.

• Mains electric shock
• Fire from an incorrectly rated or poorly connected cord
• Loss of protective grounding if the wrong plug or cord is fitted
• Do not operate the refrigerator with a damaged power cord.
• Do not splice or patch a damaged mains cord or substitute an ungrounded plug.
• Unplug the refrigerator only if it can be done without touching damaged or exposed conductors. If that is not safe, keep clear and arrange qualified service.

No part price, service charge or confirmed availability is provided here, so a total repair cost cannot be estimated. Once the cord specification is verified, compare the current part offer with the separate costs of diagnosis and installation. Any additional issue identified during service could change the total.

The available information does not support a recommendation to replace the refrigerator instead. A decision about repair versus replacement would require confirmed costs and more information about the appliance’s condition.

The reported need is cord replacement, but the information available does not confirm the exact cord specification or identify a failed internal component. It also does not establish whether the relevant replacement is a complete supply cord or another cord-related part. These details should be verified for the particular refrigerator rather than inferred from the model name alone.

A damaged mains lead is a safety concern even when the refrigerator otherwise appears to work. The condition of the cord does not establish what caused the damage, so the cause should not be assumed from the symptom.
