    Hi ​@Bbhammer,

     

    I'm sorry to hear that. You did the right thing by stopping using the plug straight away, as crackling noises from a charger can indicate a fault.

     

    We'd recommend taking the plug back to your local Currys store so they can inspect it and advise on a replacement. If you're unable to return to a store, please contact the point of sale where the charger was purchased to discuss the options available.

     

    Please don't continue using the charger until it has been checked.


    Regards,

    Hi ​@Bbhammer,

     

    Thank you for your response.

     

    If you purchased the item over the phone, you'll need to contact our Live Chat team so they can review the order details and advise further.

     

    If they need to see your receipt, they'll be able to advise on how to provide it securely, as attachments can't be reviewed through the Community.
