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!

It is much safer to replace it than not to! If the plug itself does not
have corrosion that you could clean off, then there's probably a near-break
in the wires inside it. YOUR HOUSE WILL BURN DOWN IF YOU KEEP USING IT. DO
NOT USE IT UNTIL IT'S FIXED.
