A plug can be accidently pulled out. That could be a serious problem
under the right circumstances. Twist lock, of course, prevents that.

Are you thinking of freeze damage, or something else?


A plug that's only partially pulled out can generate enough heat to
start a
fire - particularly in a device that draws a lot of amps.

Perhaps freezers should be hard wired, like furnace?



How about an electric dryer?
