You don"t say what you are up to with that hair dryer,but I"m going to guess you"re using it to thaw out some frozen water pipes. If so --then after all this time -- I would just shut it off and try something else.

I love those questions from the "new comers" -- they sound like "new babies" finding their way around. Yours is a typical question that has no beginning and no end. Now a dryer for 6 hrs. on a head -- you should check first with an electrician, then with an cosmetician -- then of course with a beauty parlor before jumping here -- why -- because by the time you get those answers -- you or your hair might be "on fire" and you need the fire department. Enough said, I hope you do get the message that a hair dryer for 6 straight, continuous hours on a head -- makes it hot, hot, hot. Now, time to cool down and un-plug the hair dryer and take a rest. Hope it helps.

Assuming it is a frozen pipe, if you have a faucet at a low point, start thawing close to the open faucet, and work your way up allowing all of the thawed water to drain.
If you have significant amounts of frozen pipe below the last possible drain point then raising the temp in the room above 32 degrees in some manner (Open a door from the house, space heaters, etc.) could be the easiest way. You could also inject high strength alcohol into a higher point and allow it to work at the ice. Need as much alcohol as you have ice, and it has to be 90-100% alcohol to be effective. I think drug stores sell it at that strength.
Good luck, thawing pipes is no fun...

I assume you're still talking about thawing that frozen pipe.
It shouldn't take that long, as long as you're sure you've located the frozen spot. It seems that either you're working on the wrong spot, or your pipe really is frozen solid for a good deal of its length. In either case, the hair dryer obviously isn't working.
Try setting up a couple of space heaters along the length of the pipe. Expose as much of the pipe as possible to as much warm air as possible.

Are you even reading your responses that you get to your questions? Yesterday you said "3" hours. Today it's 6?
Shame.
Listen to the good advice that people are trying to give you.
No one has said "use your hairdryer" except you. Obviously it isn't working!
Read your answers to yesterday's question and read today's simular answers and do something useful.

what are you using it for? to dry up the Atlantic Ocean, at least 2 more hours if you have it on the highest setting.

Just a few minutes if you're smart enough to turn it on
