  • 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.

  • Cheers for the reply! Have changed the plug after trimming the cable and all appears fine, keeping an eye on it and installing a smoke alarm as well as not putting it on when we are not about...
