Change the whole cable or replace that plugg with one that’s meant to replace it. Or gett a really good home insurance where they don’t look for electrical fires.

Or causes of accidentally electrocutions. The sub is called buy-it-for-life, not buy-it-for-living!

I am and he is 100% right.

Go to the hardware store and buy a replacement plug for like $5. Look up YouTube videos on how to replace an electrical plug if you don’t know how. Can be done with a knife and screwdriver (but wire cutters and stripper is recommended over the knife) in less than 5 minutes.

This is the replaced plug, polarized, from the hardware store.

Because I didn't want it getting retracted into the body and straining it.

Just so everyone is clear, I didn't "fix" the plug, I replaced it!

Clearly some of you have never seen the original.
