Hi.
Wife keeps getting a small belt (one only) if she touches the pins of the plug on her hairdryer after using it. I've experienced it too; it's basically nothing painful - a bit like a spark you might get off a wooly jumper as you take it off.
Apologies for being a bit thick, but would this indicate a fault with the appliance? Or the ring main? (or both? or neither?)
Obviously don't want to ignore it if it's a sign of something potentially dangerous.
Thanks in advance
