I applaud your logic!
Other logical scenarios:
-Unplug the dryer, send text regarding concerns
-Unplug the dryer, make phone call regarding concerns
-Unplug the dryer, leave note over electrical socket stating “dryer is broke - do not plug in until fixed”
-Unplug the dryer, place duct tape over electric socket, leave note on dryer stating “do not use”
-Unplug the dryer, leave note on actual dryer that dryer is broken, “do not use”
-unplug dryer, alert barn staff directly not to turn on
-unplug dryer, duct tape door shut, leave note “do not use”
-remove plug from dryer so it can’t be plugged in
Illogical options:
Do nothing. Leave dryer as in, creating perpetual safety concern. Call fire inspectors who are off the property regarding concerns. Wait for fire inspectors delayed response.
