Made a stupid mistake and used a longer PC power cable which I thought was compatible with my brand new Instant Pot. It wasn't, and the cable melted at the middle which caused the Instant Pot to shutoff. Luckily it shutoff as I was upstairs and didn't even know and one of my dinner chair has a black mark where the cable was touching. The cable was super hot and I slightly burnt myself unplugging it.

I thought the Instant Pot was done, and I'll need to get a exchange. But it turned on once I used the original cable, and was able to finish the original cook. Do you guys think it will affect the life of the Instant Pot or should I still exchange it?

Why would you do that.

Standard cord was too short and I needed to reach my power outlet. I assume the cable is the same.
