    Tumble dryer plug melted

    My tumble dryer has been in the same position and worked for years today no power when I check plug hard to remove. Which I discovered was because melted, dryer was plugged into extension lead. What would have caused this? Do I need new dryer or can I just fit new plug? Thx

    Can anyone help in tracking down this plug in fitting.

    Can anyone help in tracking down this plug used on a Salton hot tray power lead and cooking hot pot (1970's era). In a recent move the leads have been lost. It's made by 'Nettle'. I managed to borrow a lead for Christmas from a friend but need to buy 2. Have searched web without success.

    Discuss; Plugull - The removable plug attachment - any good?

    https://www.jmldirect.com/offers/buy-it-now/plugull-plug-removal-attachment I feel that given the longer length of the earth pin it will actually stress the plug and the socket. British plugs can be a bugger to pull at times, but I don't think this is the answer..

    13amp multi plug extension?

    I want to purchase a 10 socket multiplug extension that's 13amps. Does that mean I cant go above 13amps on the whole 10 sockets? I'm thinking even if i put 4 3amp plugs on it I can't use the other 6 so seems pointless having 10. Tia

    Hi and thanks for having me. Can I wire an Au plug to this fan?
