Face Plate
outlet sparked when changing the face plate.?
I just bought a house and I was changing the old face plate and it sparked when I was taking off the old face place. When I then put on the new face plate it sparked again. What does this mean. This outlet was just changed to a three prong outlet could this have anything to do with it.
do I need to worry about this starting a fire it I don't use it until I can get it checked??
Should I turn the power off to that outlet?
If the outlet or wires are sparking yes it can cause a fire and is a hazard. There is a short somewhere either between the wires or a problem in the construction or setup of the plug. Just because the plug has three prongs does not mean it is properly grounded. If the box (what the wires come to and the plug is mounted to) is metal the box may be grounded but the plug may not be, vise versa, or neither. Many older houses are updated with three prong plugs or even GFI (ground fault interrupter) plugs, but there is no ground wire connected to them which is what make both safer.
Have the sparking plug looked at by a licensed electrician. You can test the others without any danger to yourself or special knowledge. You can get a cheap little tool (~$5) that looks like a three prong plug with three LED lights. They light up depending on the setup of each plug. They have a sticker on them that tells you what the different light displays mean. You can check your whole house without extra expense from the electrician to see where other problems might be.
Make sure they all light up as being setup correctly with a proper ground, and get that sparking one fixed. The electrician may check all your other plugs for you for free, if they're nice.
