Why Does My Suction Machine (Aspirator) Power Cord Become Bent or Deformed? Is It Dangerous?

Power cord deformation is usually caused by improper storage, such as tightly wrapping, twisting, sharply bending, or tying the cord into knots. Over time, this may damage the internal wires, even if the outer insulation appears intact. This can lead to power interruptions, overheating, short circuits, or fire.
 

How Should the Power Cord Be Stored? What If It Is Already Deformed?

1.Proper Coiling: Follow the cord's natural curve and coil it into loops approximately 15–20 cm in diameter. Secure loosely with a hook-and-loop cable tie.
2.Protect the Cord Ends: Avoid pulling or sharply bending the areas near the plug and machine connection.
3.Safety Precautions: If the cord is severely deformed, damaged, or unusually hot, stop using it immediately. Do not force it straight. Replace it with an original or manufacturer-approved power cord.
