Will Drying Out My Portable AC Plug Fix the Fuse Issue?
Asked by SunnyDay42
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.
