[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1101323, member: 176704"] The smell was obviously the material of the Chinese plug - probably not actually UK certified! - "gently deteriorating" because of poor contact materials & tension, and thus excessive local heating (actually, there should not be ANY such heating in that area!) - and a "13A" fuse of some sort. Would be interested to see a better shot of the fuse as I suspect it also isn't genuinely UK certified to BS1362 (the matching fuse specification to BS1363 for the plug itself). Came across similar issues quite a few times when actually "working"!:rolleyes: PS: if you want see "more of the same", check out the UK Electrical Safety First (ESF) [URL='https://www.electricalsafetyfirst.org.uk/product-recalls/']website[/URL]. - and [USER=404998]@Spiff[/USER], maybe report your experiences there.
