  • You were but it probably wasn't going to cause a full blown fire. I'm assuming the moulded plugs have some extra qualities and the breaker in the cu should have popped after the current draw got serious.

  • lol. I didn’t take a pic of the adaptor but it was well melted. A fire was a real possibility as there was stuff around the socket - like cloth flowers which would have went up in style. That’s why I didn’t notice the mess as it was behind the stuff. Imagine if I had a bike in the garage!!🤬

    I found a pic of the adaptor

  • Ahh, one of those adaptors. I'm sure the investigation would have just put that on a big pile of problems we are aware of but can't influence. I don't use that type any more, I wouldn't recommend it for anything with a big current draw.
