Could be a poor connection between the fuse and its holder inside the plug. Replaced one at my in-laws place where the live pin had a bit of a wobble and over the years it has been causing arcing leading to the contacts becoming more carbonised which probably over time would lead to increased resistance and heat.
Not sure where else to post this, so going for here... washing machine looks like its had a bit of a minor washing machine meltdown. Any ideas what may have caused this? Looks like fuse maybe blew and then caught fire?
