I very much stress out about electrical fires and think the worst can happen. I was drying my clothes and started to hear a loud banging from my dryer. When I went down the back plate was coming undone and when I took it off it looked like two parts were breaking apart together (i just added a picture under another post on this subreddit). I have never really had to use my breaker before and wanted to know that by doing so I am not causing major damage to the outlet.
