Hello, I’m trying to replace the power cord of an air fryer and there are these white caps that connect each leads. I would like to know if they can be removed without being destroyed, I quickly tried with flat pliers but it did no budge.

    in something that can get warm enough to possibly melt the glue.

    The yellow/green color scheme almost always indicates a grounding wire. (And the ground symbol molded into the plastic behind it seems to confirm that.) Unless something has already gone terribly wrong, there shouldn’t be much power at all flowing through this wire, so it shouldn’t get hot.

      Well, it’s an air fryer and there are other cables near it that look to be wrapped in heat resistant sleeves, so I’d err on the side of caution.
