Um, so you've tested the cable from the plug to the connector but not from
the connector to the internal wiring?

Correct. Checking the last bit was only done visually (as I'd
reported, and everything looked very solid and clean)

This bit is where all the severe flexing takes place. 9 times out of 10
this is where internal breaks occur. Upright vacuum cleaners also break
their cables here.

And cylinder cleaners. ;-)
