The A/C plug for my 10.000 BTU unit has started to get too hot. It has
damaged two surge protectors in as many days. I noticed rge problem
after a recent power outage we had in the area a few days ago. The plug
is molded in and the wire is direcrly connected to the wall unit. Can I just replace the plug? Will it be safe to d so?

Please help!






Replace the plug with a heavy duty commercial grade plug, also don't plug it into a surge protector, plug it straight into an outlet and if it doesn't fit firmly replace the outlet with a commercial grade one as a lot of houses are built with cheap contractor grade crap.
