It shouldn't make any difference. Both sides are insulated in the

I wonder if an hair dryer old enough not to have a polarized plug would
be. Of course then there is the question of what condition it is in and the
fact that it does not have the additional safety features of modern hair
dryers.

Most hair dryers are made as throw-a-ways and not really designed to be
durable.

I'm putting a new plug on my wife's hairdryer. The old plug was
unpolarized, and the cord doesn't give any indication of polarity -
is there any way I should know other than testing with a meter which
wire is hot and which neutral?.
