I have a coffeemaster (several actually) and this is the second one where I've had a problem with one pin. The cord is a replacement, but the other coffeemaster did the same thing with the original cord. Can someone tell me why this is happening? I know it's a fire hazard. I don't remove the cord very often at all, because I heard that will loosen the connection and can cause a short. But for whatever reason, the one pin gets extra hot (I assume) and causes this damage.
I *love* the coffee these coffeemasters make, so when I buy yet another one, I want to prevent this. I've attached two photos.
