My Outlet is Melted and Crackles! - On the Job Troubleshooting and Repair

Hi, My name is DaveQ. I hope you enjoy my residential electrical videos that show basics for house electric work and troubleshooting. I will be explaining and showing how to electrical videos of how I do electric work with examples.

I am a Residential Journeyman Electrician, Administrator, and Business Owner.

In this video I troubleshoot issues with a bathroom outlet. The outlets was melted because of poor wiring practices. I remove the outlet and replace it with a new outlet and then test it at the end. I include electrical trips and tricks while working.
