I'd suggest deleting this one.
It should be like this.
[#1040798] If it ain't broke, don't fix it. (CK) *audio*
We also have this version.
[#2170155] Don't fix it if it ain't broke. (CK) *audio*

@CK
Thank you!
I just misplaced "it" in the sentence
which exists in this form you already used, as
"If it ain't broke, don't fix it." [https://www.merriam-webster.com...7t%20fix%20it]
Of course, I recognize that I miswrite that idiom! I corrected it.
You can delete it or let it linked with yours.
