Had to replace the power cord on the dryer last night. Dryer is 6-7 years old, cord was about a year old - I had to replace it last year for the same problem - one prong got hot to the point the plastic part of the plug started to melt. This time, there was also some damage to the face of the wall outlet, so I replaced that as well. Was much worse inside than on the face; worse than the cord as well. So, what I'm wondering is, what might have caused this? Dryer runs normally, no tripped breakers or anything. Loose connection? Wiring (and house) is 10 years old, so it seems like the problem should have shown up sooner. Maybe it's the three words on the face of the outlet: Made in China. :(
And if we need to have it somewhat tractor related, I found out today that I have to replace the alternator on my 7600. But 38 years and 8000+ hours is a better life than the dryer cord!
