Ashi-Certified Inspector Brad G. identifies a concerning issue with a 3-prong receptacle. In this case, the receptacle is associated with a dryer. The problem involves a configuration where there's a bare wire, a neutral wire, and a hot wire. If the bare wire is loose or improperly connected, it poses a significant risk. It could lead to the dryer's metal casing becoming live with electricity, creating a shock hazard for anyone who comes into contact with it. The enclosure of the dryer could become electrified, resulting in a hazardous situation. This poses serious safety concerns for both the occupants and the property. Brad G.'s expert analysis underscores the importance of proper electrical connections to mitigate such hazards and ensure the safety of residents.
