Plug felt hot

Cerocco · 2019-04-17 09:56:45

I have a condenser tumble dryer and turned it off mid cycle last nigh. When I went to plug it out the plug felt warm. Is this normal? I usually let it run the full cycle and get to it soon after so have never felt the plug before. Do I need to get an electrician out. The tumble dryer is only a year old

You are correct.
Not normal!
Fire hazard.
Unplug immediately.
At a minimum this will need the socket and plug replaced.
