Hi, we have a Hotpoint CTD-00, tonight I noticed a strange 'hot plastic' smell in the utility room. Tracing it to the dryer, I noticed the plug to be quite warm. Owing to previous threads I have read here I reacted quickly and isolated the power to the dryer removing the plug to find it charred/melted , and the same with the extension lead it is plugged into. I have removed the plug for safety and dispossed of the extension as well.
Is it a bad connection that has caused this, in which case I could connect a new suitably rated plug, and monitor it just in case or could it be something else (I know its a kind of shot in the dark)
Thanks for any help in advance.
