I have an old B&D electric Grill (10 years) that works fine, except
that the plug gets very hot in the 20-30mins of usage. So hot that I
need to use a cloth to unplug it. This is a molded kind.

Could this cause a fire? This seems to have started a few months ago.
Can this wire and plug be replaced? Or just buy a new grill?

Wow. That's disturbing. I personally wouldn't be using that grill
any more. It's certainly could cause a fire. A molded plug should
not be getting that hot.

Bet Regards,
