>no, this is not the reason for the failure. we always make sure we lock in the power cord when changing sanders, and in fact with two vacs the six inch that fried this time was rarely disconnected.
I believe the electrical connection at the sander is not fully made when locked in allowing for corrosion of the contacts leading to resistance, and thus heat dissapation at this point.
