Replace any plug cord assembly that exhibits any of these:
• Discoloration of the plug molding around the plug
blades, which is a possible indication of
overheating or arcing of the plug blades.
• Any signs of cracking; this is an indication that the
plug has been bent and straightened to a point past
its useful life.
• Loose fit of the plug blade; if the plug blade moves
in the molding, this is an indication that the
molding may have overheated or blades have been
bent and straightened to a point past its useful life.
• Replace the power cord, if damaged.
