I was talking to a friend on msn last night and they mentioned they are getting sparks from one or possibly two sockets when turning the switch off. normally after they have been ironing or something.
I have told them they should not use the sockets and get them checked out.
Just wonder if anyone had ideas on what the fault could possibly be.
My suggestion was that the live wire may have become loose (doesn't really explain why it only happens when switching off) or that the sockets themselves have went faulty. to which the reply was, I only paid to get them fitted 2 years ago!!!.
I suggested that they knock the power off and check the wiring or indeed just swap the sockets for ne since they are only a few quid each
so any other suggestions?
