A break in the electrical wiring inside the cord - usually it is right by the male end that you are plugging in to power - so a replacement end can be put on the block heater cord ( those flames sure can startle a person ! ) After it happened to me , I always made sure that I plugged my block heater cord into my extension cord before I plugged my extension cord into the electric outlet
