Have a USA farberware coffee percolator - how can I make it work in UK? An US to UK adaptor does not work.?
-
I'm told the US power cord is a 3 pin P/N 31496 if this helps. Can I just buy a UK one to plug in and go?

Answer:
500W UK to USA Voltage Convertor only £99.99 http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=227637 or A new coffee percolator suitable for UK use would be cheaper to buy from amazon: Dualit Cordless Coffee Percolator Chrome 84036 £52.99 http://www.amazon.co.uk/Dualit-Cordless-Coffee-Percolator-84036/dp/B0000TZ8OE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=home-garden&qid=1230304491&sr=1-1

be very very careful - the UK voltage is 230 volts - that's twice the normal voltage of the US - if you have already plugged it in you have probably burnt out the element of your coffee percolator - better get it checked out by a qualified electrician - or just buy a new percolate in the UK. ...

As you have tried out the adaptor, and it does'nt work, you have just pumped in 240V into a 110V appliance, You have therefore just burnt out the element, SORRY

Just do as the Americans would do and shoot it.

US appliances run on 110V. UK is between 220V and 240V. You need an adapter. If you say a US to UK adapter doesn't work I think either the adapter is broken or the percolator is broken.

You need a transformer and not a converter. You can get them from Maplin. On line. Just change the plug.
