Before I opened the casing I thought of getting a triangle safety screwdriver and saving thomas' metallic shell and chucking the rest. But I decided to open the casing. Because when I opened the casing that hides the wires I saw two wires broke. So I had to cut away enough extra wire to make a solid connection. Then not taped or nothing I tested it, to find out the wires caused the problem. I was so happy it was a simple fix I could've bounced off the wall. So I got the wires together and taped them toghether first went so did second. It didn't work. Turns out the wires separted themselves. After repeating the same process about five or six times, I gave up and grabbed a rednecks backup weapon if duct tape don't work-superglue. Put a drop in both wires stuck them together and it's worked like a charm. And would anyone know if baby oil would make better steam then just straight water.
Nice thought about wires superglued. But it's to fix him with a new wire you can find in Amazon or Ebay plus a solder
