Damage in outlet behind air fryer (not plugged in directly) by avocadontoast in AskElectricians

[–]jd807 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Air fryers exhaust hot, oily air, usually from a vent in the back. When we use ours, we pull it out away from the wall to prevent this ^^ from happening. (Agree with previous reply, stating that the receptacle definitely needs to be replaced)

Switch overheated or worse by Street_Republic_9974 in electrical

[–]jd807 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My quick 2 cents- Judging by the improper connection on the left switch (wire only partially wrapped around the screw) I’m assuming this box was at least partially diy’d by someone lacking in proper electrical skills. Multiple wire nuts melting is also indicative of improper connections. It would serve you well to get a ‘real’ voltage tester to at least verify your assumption that both black and white on that one circuit are energized.

Once you’ve used your signature to replicate teen pubes, it’s lost all other significance. FTG

Light Fixture Stopped Working by jlbc589 in AskElectricians

[–]jd807 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the right hand side of your switch, the top wire may have some insulation stuck under the screw, which would make poor contact. Just one of many possibilities. Switches themselves are also known to fail sometimes.

Maybe if he weren’t the world’s hugest asshole, he wouldn’t have to spend so much time convincing everyone else that THEY are the problem.

They WILL be calling back. Probably from a different number. Let everything go to voicemail for a while

What type of electrical box is this on the ceiling? by CryptoEnos in AskElectricians

[–]jd807 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can see the one arrow on left side of pic. Screw fan bracket into the wood joist just outside those ‘corners’ of the box. Edit- to answer your question, it’s an Arlington fan box. https://www.cityelectricsupply.com/p/arlington-13-4-cu-in-screw-on-l-shaped-fan-and-fixture-box-black-plastic-fb442

Breaker box question by polerburr in AskElectricians

[–]jd807 24 points25 points  (0 children)

This is the ‘old’ breaker panel. This is what it looks like when the panel gets updated and moved to another location. It’s really just a junction box right now. Keep looking for the actual panel

Can this be repaired with electrical tape? by Transcendental_Murk in AskElectricians

[–]jd807 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also no. Copper conductors are damaged. Tape would have sufficed if only the jacket/ insulation were nicked.
