You can shop a wide range of replacement power cords on Walmart.com or in select stores. To find a good match quickly, try this approach:

• Search: Use terms like “replacement power cord,” plus your device type (TV, monitor, appliance).
• Filter: Narrow by connector style (2‑prong, 3‑prong, IEC C13), length, gauge (AWG), and indoor/outdoor rating.
• Check specs: Compare the cord’s voltage/amp rating with your device label.
• Pickup or delivery: Choose shipping to home or store pickup, when available.
• In-store help: If you visit a store, having the old cord or a clear photo can make matching easier.

Review product pages for compatibility notes and customer Q&A to help confirm fit.

Start by matching the cord to your device’s connection and power needs. A quick checklist can help:

• Connector type: Identify the device inlet (e.g., 2‑prong non‑polarized figure‑8/C7, 2‑prong polarized, 3‑prong grounded, or IEC C13 for computers/monitors).
• Electrical rating: The cord’s volts/amps should meet or exceed your device label (common household is 120/125V; many cords are rated up to 10–15A).
• Gauge & length: Lower AWG = thicker wire (16/14/12 AWG handles higher loads than 18 AWG). Longer runs may benefit from thicker wire.
• Environment: Choose indoor SJT or outdoor‑rated SJTW as needed.
• Plug style: Flat or rotating plugs can help in tight spaces.
• Safety: Look for UL Listed markings.

Compare what your device requires with the cord’s specifications. This step‑by‑step approach can help:

• Match the connector: Confirm the shape and type (figure‑8/C7 vs. IEC C13, 2‑prong polarized vs. non‑polarized, or 3‑prong grounded). Don’t force a fit.
• Grounding: If your device has a 3‑prong inlet, use a grounded cord.
• Power rating: Check the device label for amps or watts and select a cord with equal or higher ratings.
• Plug standard: Most U.S. cords use a NEMA 5‑15P wall plug for 120/125V outlets.
• Product page details: Review the Specs/Compatibility sections and customer Q&A.

If unsure, your device manual or manufacturer support can provide additional guidance.

Safety comes first, and a few careful steps can help:

• Power down: Turn the device off and unplug it from the wall.
• Detachable cords: If your device uses a removable cord (e.g., C13, figure‑8/C7), disconnect it at the device end, then connect the compatible replacement. Ensure it seats fully—don’t force it.
• Inspect: Check the new cord and outlet for damage before use.
• Built‑in cords: For cords hardwired into a device or any damaged wiring, contact the manufacturer or a qualified technician. DIY internal repairs may pose safety risks.
• Test carefully: Plug in and observe for normal operation. If anything seems off, unplug and reassess.

It comes down to blade shape and how the device handles hot/neutral wiring:

• Polarized: One blade is wider, and it only fits a polarized outlet one way. Some devices are designed to connect hot and neutral consistently, so they require a polarized 2‑prong cord and matching inlet.
• Non‑polarized: Both blades are the same width, or the device uses a figure‑8/C7 style. These are used with devices designed to accept either orientation.
• Tip: Match the cord to your device’s inlet and label—never modify a plug. If the shapes or widths don’t match, choose a different cord that does.
