How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Do not force the plug; damage can lead to poor contact and overheating. Switch off power before inspecting the socket.
Steps:
- 1. Visual inspection: Examine the socket for melted plastic, misaligned contacts, or foreign objects.
- 2. Clean socket: Remove loose debris with a dry, soft brush. Do not use metal tools inside the socket.
- 3. Check mounting screws: With power off, verify that the socket is firmly mounted and not twisted or pulled by the cable.
- 4. Inspect locking mechanism: On models with mechanical locking, check that the lock pin moves freely and is not bent.
- 5. Replace socket: If deformation or wear is evident, replace the Type 2 socket assembly.
After replacement, test insertion and removal with several plugs to ensure smooth operation.
