Plug hardware failures - Model PG04

I bought few months ago 28 pieces. 8 died completely: 1 due to current (washing machine), 7 without ANY visible damage. Since they are without screws, opening them means damaging them. No refund from Athom ;-( I will never buy from them anymore

Yet another PG04 died this week. The v2 sockets are so far fine.

It took me a while to get round to configuring the replacement plug, sadly this one failed after 28hrs of use. It only had a few computer screens and a laptop charger attached, so it was a very low load. Have contacted Athom again to see what comes next.

My V2 plugs arrived today and I'm afraid these devices block the use of the wall socket switch.

I've had two of these fail in a week. I'm very disappointed as I only purchased these recently. In both instances the connected device was powered off at the time.

Got a replacement from athom in the end, was a little sad to see that it was another V1 plug, will see how long this one lasts.

Washing machine is killing mine (2 so far), higher current + inductive load suspected.

The other athom that's driving the condenser dryer is still going fine through all this (though it is buzzing, presumably coil whine). I have a Shelly Plus 1PM preparing to install with ESPHome and the additional snubber (10uF 1/2W 600V capacitor, advice to use it is buried in the install guide).

Ordered one to experiment with in Feb, can't recall when it arrived but I'd guess Mid March, was powering three GU10 smart bulbs so very little load, it hadn't yet made it past testing, was going to install behind a washing machine and was keen to see how good these are before I put it beyond easy reach. To be honest I forgot about and it's been plugged in but with standby load for the smart bulbs only. Had decided to use to monitor some power but after moving it was unresponsive with high pitch electrical noise. bought from AliExpress, getting a response from the 'Athom global store' is proving slow.

I got a email to say their V2 plugs have been released... wonder if it still has the same issue?

Its also interesting to see that they have all gone at the fuse. such heat like that could come from the fuse holder being loose on the fuse. I'm going to inspect one of mine tonight and see how well held in the fuse is.

what did you have running on those? In fairness I've had about a dozen of these over the last 18 months and not one has failed yet. I run an electric fire off one which is perhaps the biggest drain. Interested to know whats caused the melting of the fuse.
