Suppose a spring is kept in a compressed position.Keeping it in this position,the spring is melted. Where does the elastic potential energy go? 🙏

Solution

It's not going to all disolve all at the same time. One part will break, and the stored energy will be converted to mechanical energy as the spring expands again to it's normal length, this time just in two pieces. Basically, it's gonna break.
