if your maytroncs swivel connector is left in the pool too long it can leak water . The water shorts the pins and leads to very high currents.The current blows teh pin connection and often melts the white plastic. Sometimes the pin can be pulled out . If the pin is too short it wiil not work. This shows how to make the pin extension.
The extension will allow the shorter pin to stay in contact with the cord side of the connector.
