If the appliance is just faulty, not dangerous,
I don't see why you should cut the plug off?

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.

Bull****. Its easy to check if its dangerous or not.

It you don't know and there is a small chance a wire is loose,

That doesnt make it dangerous. The electrical standards
mean that its not dangerous even if 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.

Mindlessly silly.

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

Only the fools who are too stupid to understand
what the electrical standards are about.
