Question
I bought an electric appliance for making Belgian waffles, and I prefer not to immerse it, so I want to disassemble and reassemble it in a way that exempts it from immersion. A. Is it enough to disassemble the internal electrical connections, or do I need to disassemble the plates on which the food is placed? B. What type of correction is effective for exemption? Is it only something that ordinary people cannot do, for example, connecting or disassembling electricity is easy, but not everyone does it, is this enough to exempt?
Answer
Shalom Rav
A. Disassembling and repairing internal electrical connections is also considered completing the work by the hands of a Jew.
B. A correction that many people refrain from doing due to lack of knowledge or fear of damaging, etc., is sufficient to be considered a craftsman's act that exempts from immersion.
