A faulty appliance is probably dangerous,

Thats bull**** if it has just stopped working.

It's only bull**** if you know why an appliance has stopped working.

It you don't know and there is a small chance a wire is loose, then the
safest way is to mark it up as such or if of little value in our throw
away society make it obvious it's is for the scrap bin and to render safe.

Most of those versed in electrical test would cut the plug.

Only a self-confessed chemist would disagree.
