An air hockey table isn’t costly (before you consider getting a new one, learn how to get rid of your hockey table<\/a>). It also has only a few parts-but when something goes wrong you’ll wish you didn’t have to fix it. You can buy replacement components for almost all of the moving parts in your table, but before you do anything else check the plugs which connect the motor to the power cord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If an air hockey game isn’t responding to the scoring then the problem could lie in your connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The plugs that connect the power cord to the motor can get loose, usually because people are moving the table when they should be moving themselves out of harm’s way. If you see any exposed wiring or fraying contact cloth at either end of the plug it’s time for a replacement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Replacing an air hockey power cord may seem daunting but there is no reason to ever pay someone else to do it. To replace just one takes about fifteen minutes if you have all of your tools ready and waiting in advance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It will cost you five dollars for a new plug and not much more than that to buy some wire strippers and insulation tape-which you’ll need for the job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When you’ve got everything together all that’s left is to strip about an inch of insulation off both ends of your new wire. Slide the one end through the hole in either side of the plug and tighten it through with a flat-head screwdriver, then do the same thing with the other end. Once every part is secure wrap your connections up in electrical tape and make sure there are no exposed metal parts anywhere on your cord or plugs before connecting it back to your outlet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If this doesn’t fix your air hockey table’s problems check out if anything has fallen into any moving parts or if there’s something wrong with the speed control devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\nCan you repair an air hockey table?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
