Usually the circuit breaker will trip or fuse will blow to open the circuit. There is some chance the if the breaker or fuse is rated too high the wire to the outlet socket could overheat and cause a fire.
It may damage the cord. You may or may not have a problem if you pull a plug from a socket by its cord. The cord contains wires which are attached, inside the plug, to the protruding blades that enter the socket. That attachment may be very firm, or possibly not so firm. In addition, some plugs fit very firmly inside a socket and consequently are difficult to pull out, and others fit very loosely and are easy to pull out. In the worst case scenario, in which the wires are weakly attached inside the plug, and the plug fits firmly in the socket, the result of pulling the plug out by the cord may be that the wires will become disconnected inside the plug, which will then cease to work properly. And even if the wires do not become immediately disconnected, you may be progressively weakening the connection, if you habitually pull out a plug by means of the cord. Eventually the wiring will fail.
To unplug an electrical cord, simply grasp the plug firmly and pull it straight out of the outlet. Avoid pulling on the cord itself to prevent damage. Make sure to disconnect the plug by the head, not the cord.
Extension cords can make noise due to electromagnetic interference or arcing between the plug and the outlet. This can happen if the contacts are loose or not making a good connection. The noise could also be caused by a damaged cord or a short circuit within the cord.
If your question is can you use a #6 flexible SOOW cord and put a 30 amp plug on it, then yes. The breaker that feeds the receptacle that the cord will plug into can be no larger than a 30 amp breaker. What limits the cord capacity to 30 amps is the ratings of the plug on the end of the cord.
"Cord-and-attachment-plug-connected" refers to a device that is powered by a cord (electrical cable) attached to an electrical outlet via a plug. This type of connection allows for easy removal and relocation of the device without the need for hardwiring.

The purpose of the plug on the cord is to connect the cord to an electrical outlet so that electricity can flow through the cord and power the device it is connected to.
You can plug an extension cord into another extension cord. A extension cord is to help make doing something easier.
When using an extension cord with a removable plug, it is important to ensure that the plug is securely attached to the cord to prevent any electrical hazards. Make sure the plug is compatible with the cord and that it is inserted fully and securely. Inspect the cord for any damage or fraying before each use, and avoid overloading the cord with too many devices. Always unplug the cord by pulling on the plug itself, not the cord, to prevent damage.
You bring it to vet and tell them that it is overheated and than they will do somthing to him Poor Schnauzer :(
To replace a plug on a cord, first cut off the old plug and strip the insulation from the cord wires. Then, attach the wires to the new plug following the manufacturer's instructions. Make sure to secure the wires properly and test the connection before using the cord.

No, it is not safe to plug one extension cord into another extension cord as it can create a fire hazard due to potential overloading of the electrical circuit.

It is generally not safe to plug a fridge into an extension cord because it can overload the cord and pose a fire hazard. It is recommended to plug the fridge directly into a wall outlet to ensure safety.
you have to buy the plug-in cord (for the block heater) separately. Block heater is about $34.00 CDN and the cord is about $75.00 CDN. The cord has the regular end to plug into your electrical socket and the other end has a special plug end for the heater.
unplug old cord...plug in new cord
