  Hey guys, I was using my Electron a few weeks ago, and after about 30 mins, it blew the electricicty, melted the plug, and melted the socket as well.
Anyone any ideas? I have noticed the machine does get very hot when in use, as does the plug. Perhaps a thermostat problem? Any info is much appreciated, I'm not good with repairs :/ | ||

 The wire connections in the plug are not sound ....same thing happened to a twinny I was using on a boil wash - the current arced across wires and connections that where lose and corroded, cut the flex and re-wire a new plug with clean cut new wire....then try again , not saying it is this but its one thing to discount!!
let us know how you get on!!

 Look first at the plug and also the socket - it it was an old socket possibly the conectors were worn and it was not making a good connection - we had that many years ago with my Mum's Creda drier. Obviously they are toast now - if you had a single socket replace it with a double so you can leave the drier plugged in all the time (check it occasionally of course) or even better a fused spur unit
