It tumbled and was otherwise acting normal, except for the crucial and annoying fact that it would not heat or dry my clothes. I turned it off for a minute and when I turned it back on, it sparked in the back. I immediately opened the door to shut it off and went to investigate what happened. I found the electrical cord prongs connected to the dryer charred, one more so than the others. I’ve attached photos.
I guess I’m wondering what on earth happened to my dryer. Is this simply a faulty electrical cord that needs replacing, or is it a side effect of something else? If it is something else, is it something I could fix on my own?
My significant other and I bought the dryer from the tenants who lived at our current house before we moved in about 6 months ago, so i don’t know very much about its history. The only thing we were concerned with was that it worked and, well, that didn’t last long…
I appreciate any help and advice!
