    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

    Hello guys, I 've been asked to provide power in a utility room with a shower, for a tumble drier, washing machine and boiler. I was thinking that fused spurs will suffice, they would be outside zone 2 but not 3 m away horizontally. Any thoughts? Cheers Tom
