If it doesn't trip the breaker when it does this, then it probably is just a bad outlet. Change the plug itself, turn the breaker off first. If this doesn't work, then call a professional. If you are uneasy around electricity then I would contact one anyway. They would all charge a service call, which ranges anywhere from $65 - $100.

It means you either have a wiring problem or a broken outlet. Turn off the breaker for the outlet and remove the cover. Look to see if the wires on the outlet are burned. They may just be loose also. If you are not familiar with electrical wiring, get a pro to do it. It could burn your hose down. Good luck.

do no longer problem there is not any longer something incorrect with the television basically basically sparkling those corrosive in the plug then approximately your capability bar it particularly is has a water interior that deliver the capability short reason the water dampness my suggestion is do no longer use those capability bar for a week permit those capability bar dry genuine formerly you employ it returned in wide-spread use basically basically unplug all home equipment hook as much as that capability bar and hung that capability bar the two from direct image voltaic or on the closet. If hung to dry at direct image voltaic that should dry in the afternoon time and able to apply. take be conscious even a dry capability bar sometimes create slightly spark once you insert an equipment plug specifically if the using grew to become into in ON place or the plug grew to become into too lose in that capability bar ( examine if to no longer lose because of the fact those can create a hearth too because of the plug would be overheated)

Replacing the outlet is your best option. Turn of the breaker for that area. Replace outlet, remembering how the two wires connect. screw it back in, replace the face plate, turn the breaker back on, your good to go.

Well, turn off whatever it is you are plugging in first and it wouldnt spark. If the outlet sparks when you turn it on then you have problems...... but you shouldnt have anything turned on before you plug it in, thats bad for outlets and your plugs....

this could be as simple as the device you are plugging in is turned on so there is an instant draw of current, thus causing the sparks. Make sure its turned off then if it still does it, change out your recepticle
