All, my UMC and the 5-15/14-50 adapters go through a lot of cycles of coupling/decoupling to each other as I plug in into the 14-50 at home at night and into the 5-15 at work every day.
This used to be very slick and easy initially with pushing the button on top to detach and with an easy slide-in-and-click to attach. Of late though, they've gotten very "sticky" and it takes a lot of effort to get the UMC to decouple from either of the adapters. Pushing in takes some effort too and there's no longer a click that can be heard.
Anyone else seen the same? With all the cycles, I expected the coupling to go loose over time but, it's actually gone the other way. Could the noticeable heat during charging be changing those plastic/rubber ends? I don't see any visible damage there.
I'm due for a UMC refresh anyway when I go into a service center (as my due bill notes the missing aluminum trim at the end) but, just wondering...
