Hi everyone,

My 2 year old washing machine has just blown a fuse - so much so that
the plug prong was fused to the plastic of the plug itself.

I replaced the entire plug and it's still not working. Could it be that
the socket it plugs into is fritzed too? I'm happy to swap this out for
a new one as that's one of the few DIY skills I have, but before I do
that I thought I'd ask for some ideas in case it could be anything
else. There doesn't seem to be any exterior damage to the socket.

Thanks in advance.
