🔍 When you need this socket
The IEC socket should be replaced when:
- Humidifier off: Does not turn on despite the cable being connected
- False contact: It turns on and off intermittently, you have to move the plug
- Plug doesn't fit properly: Socket is deformed, too loose or too narrow
- Sparks: You see flashes when you insert/remove the plug
- Burning smell: Overheated plastic in socket area
- Visibly damaged: Melted, blackened, or cracked plastic
- Oxidized Contacts: Green, Black, or Corroded Metal Pins
- Loose grip: Moves in the panel instead of staying put
⚠️ What is the IEC socket?
The IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) socket is a worldwide standard :
- Type C14 (female to panel): This replacement, mounted on the humidifier
- Type C13 (male on cable): The power cord plug
- Universality: Same connector as PC, monitor, printer
- Voltage: 250V AC
- Current: 10A
⚠️ Before ordering: diagnostics
Is the socket really the problem?
Rapid test:
- Unplug everything (main plug + IEC plug)
- Cable Test: Try the IEC cable on another device (PC, monitor) – does it work?
- Visual inspection: Look inside the socket with a flashlight – are the contacts shiny or oxidized/black?
- Test with another cable: If you have a spare IEC cable, try it on the humidifier.
📸 In doubt? Send us a photo of the socket (with the inside visible) on WhatsApp and describe the symptoms.
