Socket burnt out means nothing until inspection, it may simply be a

It could be a cheap nasty socket with a sliver of bent brass carrying
the 13A. BS marks seem to get onto anything with square pins these
days.

Those original MK surface mount 13 amp sockets (and the matching plug)
used to cook too. As anyone who's removed them when re-wiring will have
found. Usually plenty scorch marks.


Anyone who has done some DIY electrical work and purchased no-name
plugs/sockets from the sheds probably knows that they can be vastly
inferior to MK branded products. If MK can burn what hope is there for
an inferior product?
