Applicable to: All Products on a plug.

 

Issue: Plug too hot, plug damaged, plug melted, plug damaged socket.

 

Advice:  Not all plug issues relate to the plug – it can be the socket

 

Action: A competent person can replace the plug. As the likely cause is a loose fuse holder. Replacing the plug and ensuring the clips around the fuse are tight will minimise the issue.
