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.
