Take it to a vacuum cleaner repair shop and pay $50 to have it fixed.

Or spend $5 at most at the hardware store for a new plug.

Go to a hardware store, and buy a replacement plug rated to handle the current (in Amps) used by your vacuum. All you'll need is a mediun to large screwdriver and a way to strip the wires.

Note -- Don't do this while it is plugged in. :shocked:
