An Electrical Hazard When a Plug Does Not Work and the Electrical Wires Are Hot
- Hi Debbi, I really wish you would have given me a little more to go by, such as what is the plug or receptacle being used for and what wires are you referring to that are getting hot?
- IMPORTANT: what you are describing are signs of Electrical Troubles and I would advise that you Turn The Circuit OFF and contact a qualified electrician as soon as possible to have the problem identified and resolved to prevent any further possible problems.
