I need to replace an AC adapter that went out. Original is 12V 225mA.
I
have several 12V 1000mA. Any problem using 1000mA rated unti with 225mA
machine?

Is the original AC or DC out put? Same for the replacements. You did not
mention the make/model of the device powered. While it's unlikely to make
a
difference that too may have an impact on the answer.

Last if DC the polarity to the center pin can be + or - get it wrong and
you've burned up the device.

Or it just won't run - depending on the circuitry.

Do you *really* want to depend on that eventuality?
