Why do hair dryers in my house burn out prematurely since other appliances have normal life span?

More than likely, you are getting them wet. Most hair dryers have GFCI (ground fault circuit interrupter) devices, and that is why the plug is so big. However, on most, it is a single-use device. So it protects you one time from electric shock and then renders the hair dryer useless. There is a metal screen in the end, and it is wired to the GFCI. So try to avoid touching the hair dryer all the way to your head.
There may be other possibilities like buying shoddy hair dryers or getting too much electricity to the outlet. Here are some things to try to stop burning out hair dryers:
1. Don't let the metal in the end of the hair dryer touch your hair or body while using it.
2. Keep the hair dryers dry and away from water at all times.
3. Always unplug it when not using it.
4. Install a GFCI outlet in the bathroom if you don't have one there already.
5. Get a voltmeter and test the outlets. Call the power company if it is too high.
6. Get a quality hair dryer.
