Will Drying Out My Portable AC Plug Fix the Fuse Issue?

Asked By SunnyDay42 On

I have a portable air conditioner, and the plug that connects to the outlet got wet. It's a small unit that contains a fuse and the plug itself. I'm not looking to fix it right now; I just want to know if letting it dry for a couple of days could resolve the issue with the fuse tripping. Every time I try to click it on, it trips immediately. Will drying it out help, or do I need to consider replacing it?

It sounds like you might be dealing with some moisture causing a short circuit. If the plug is just wet and doesn’t show any signs of damage or corrosion, drying it out could definitely help! Leave it in a warm, dry place for a couple of days, but keep an eye on it. If it still trips after drying, you might need to think about replacing it or getting it checked.

That makes sense! Moisture can really cause some issues, especially with electrical components. Hope it works for you!
