They used to break down and they could and were repaired. Nowadays if something breaks it goes in the garbage can. I had an extension cable which died staying in the basement for a year. When i opened it to check the reason i was shocked. It looked like a spider net made of dust but this was metal.

Sounds like you should unplug it before you open it up.

It was not working. I opened it to check why.
Funny!
