Moulded safety plugs

[philfridge]

Had a few problems with these lately one being on my own fridge/ freezer at home. Discovered fridge freezer not working after spending £180 at tescos . Got me tools out and found fuse blown , traced fault to lost neutral in the safety plug. Cut off plug and fitted new plug now all working . Just aswell as im a fridge engineer any mere mortal would have been buggered and probably scrapped it. Anyone else had much bother with these moulded plugs.

No never.
I supose that like all mass produced products there is a small % of failures.

I too have had a few moulded plugs die, maybe one or two a year. I'm finding it's not new plugs that die but plugs that have been in use for a few years. The last one I came across was on a domestic fridge/freezer, the moulded plug produced some amazing firework displays.

No, never, because we here don't have safety plugs!

Never come across faulty premoulded plug in equipment except for heavily abused extension cords. If they are not abused or moved a lot, I've never seen them fail.
