Mrs broke the 3 prong plug on the steam cleaner and looking to replace it.
Hoover steam cleaner: 120v 60hz 10.0A
Replacement prong: 15A-125V, 2-pole, 3-Wire

Will this prong work? If not, can you tell me what I need? thx

Sorry for the delay but if it doesn’t require a neutral then you are fine. If it has a neutral existing in your old plug then it needs an equipment ground installed with a 4 wire plug. You would have to replace the cord also.
