What should I do if the outlet sparks when I turn on the plug from the refrigerator?

Alexandra asks:

Hello. Recently I noticed that the refrigerator is working, and after a while it turns off. Checked the light does not work. I pulled the plug on myself earned. After a while, he turned off again. I decided to pull out the plug, and while I pulled it out, the inside of the plug was shocking. Then I tried to insert the plug from the curling iron. That is, if the plug is fully inserted, it does not work. And if it doesn’t work, it doesn’t spark. Do I need to urgently change the outlet?

The answer to the question:

Hello! This happens when the socket contacts are worn out! Replace the outlet, because now it sparks, and then it starts to warm up. Do not delay with replacement!
