Temperature warning

    • Autor

    Hi,

    I have a number of Plug S 2500W to measure my equipment at home.

    - Washing machine

    - Dryer

    - Dishwasher

    - Drying Cabinet

    - TV/Media set

    I had them installed for at least 6 months and yesterday the washing machine plug sent a push, warning for high temperature and turned itself off.

    I went over there and it was really hot. I have set the safety limit to 2200W.

    After some giggling I managed to unplugged the device and found that it had started to melt the plastic around one of the connectors (see pic).

    Is this a faulty device or anyone seen this before? I am not even maxing the device so I was not expecting it to behave this way.

    Anyone else seen this? Should I send it in and claim a replacement device?

    Thanks for your views!

    To your issue: Obviously, one pin of the Shelly plus S did get quite hot. In most cases this is induced by a faulty plug socket. Please double-check if the contacts in the socket are worn, bent or otherwise damaged!

    Thanks for the welcome!
    I have checked the socket and I find no issues there and it does not get warm when not having the Plug S in between.
    So seems like the heat is generated in the Plug S.
