    Hi

    The plug on my tumble dryer has stopped the dryer working. Looks like the plug has melted inside.

    The dryer is around 5 years old and I’ve not had an issue with it up to now. Do you think it’s worth repairing or should I look at replacing the dryer with a heat pump model?

    Thanks in advance

    put a new plug on it and possibly the socket and it will be fine

    Agree with [USER=”4209″]electrofix[/USER] – just change the plug. The pins on the old one look ok so I think it’s just the fuseholder that has burnt out. If the socket has no evidence of heat damage then it’s likely fine.

    Thanks. DIY not my forte so was going to get a replacement for the whole power cable are they easy enough to change?

    have you got a local electrical shop
    if yes take the lead off, take it down to them and ask them to fit a new plug.

    yes that lead will fit but at almost £30 against a £3 plugtop. even if they charge you £20 to fit the plug your still ahead
