I plugged a freezer into a GFCI and sparks/arcing flew before insertion was complete.I immediately pulled it clear.I then looked to see if the freezer was on ,,,naturally it was,turned it off,reinserted the plug,turned on the freezer and everything is fine... I think.
The question is,,,,,,is this GFCI now just a standard receptacle( with blown electronic's) or did it ride thru the storm?.............any of you ever experienced this,I never had one do that before.I think I'll replace it just to be safe.
BTW that was quite a Christmas Day,a 76 year old man with COPD (24/7 oxygen)and a 72 year old woman swapping refrigerators out with out an appliance dolly,no rental places open.
