Seems to be an increasing number of plug pins burning recently , even on kettles. Must be more rubbish mains plugs being turned out.
I had similar last week with a Bosch washing machine. approximately 2 1/2 years old. used pretty much daily. Had burning and melted socket/plug on the live terminal. the socket was fine on the rear but the terminal inside was completely melted and blackened

It's just the same as the AMD3 carp. If the manufacturers actually made proper robust products instead of the cheap and nasty **** they turn out there would not be any problems,
So I'm thinking what does my photo background BYB say on this? The rating of 1mm flex from Table 4F3A is 10A so 2.4kW at 240V. Hmm. So what's my kettle then? Base says 3kW at 240V so 12.5A - also supplied with 1mm. No signs of distress yet, except in me. I'll check it with clamp meter - hopefully they are Chinese Watts .Coincidentally, only yesterday I noticed the flex was worryingly warm after one boil at the grip of our new kettle's moulded plug and the neutral pin was hot. 1mm2 flex and 2.5kW element. Not the socket - same heating problem wherever I plugged it in. Cut it off for a wired plug.
Hi - yes it's China ExportThe black plug in #23 is exactly like the one I cut off my kettle. I have thrown it away after making it safe by removing all the pins. Are they made in China?
I really like your upright washing machinenever had a problem with our kettle:
or the washing machine:
