The electrical outlet in my bathroom will power most things but my hair dryer the GFCI is not tripped the hair dryer works fine in other outlets and the fuse doesn't blow?

How were the old three wire outlets for dryer and ranges wired before the four wire came about?

The hot wires were connected to the outside blades on the plug end. The neutral was connected to the center blade. The neutral wire was hard wired to the frame with a copper strap and the neutral was used as a ground conductor. With a four wire the copper strap is removed and a separate wire is used for grounding purposes from the frame of the device back to the ground bar in the distribution panel.
