How do I connect up an electrical plug to a vacuum cleaner?

tommy lampini asked:


I have a vacuum cleaner and I need to replace the plug. The vacuum has a black and white wire and I got a three-prong plug (non-ploarized) with a silver and gold prong and a round prong. Do I hook the black wire to the silver or gold prong or does it matter?

I have a hoover windtunnel. nice vacuum cleaner, but whenever I turn it on it blows stale, stinky air . I have changed the bag, changed the filter, sprayed it with Lysol and two weeks later it smells just as stale and funky as ever. This started when I was dog sittin a Lab (lots of hair shedding) and won’t go away even though the dog has been gone for over a year.
