Default tumbly dryer plug - fishy!

Hi

she who must be obeyed spotted a fishy smell in the kitchen, and the
tumbly dryer plug was the culprit - v warm to touch - but the fuse
hand't blown.

The blue/n wire was quite charred, but no clear reason as to why -
certainly the bare copper wire wasn't in contact with anything.

What's likely to have caused this?

And will a trimming of the cable and rewiring to the plug, with a new
fuse?

Or rewire to a new plug?

M
