Incident Details
Incident Description
I recently became aware of a recall of dehumidifiers marketed by Soleus Air due to overheating. I own a Soleus air conditioner and believe I am having a similar problem. The air conditioner started shorting out the surge suppressor it was plugged into. When I unplugged the item, the socket the item was plugged into as well as the plug were partially melted.
