Everytime the toast pops up in my toaster, you can see a spark inside the toaster. Nothing metal has dropped into it and it's a new toaster. How likely will the toaster start a fire if it sparks at me?
Just to help allay your fears, Pete is correct, the spark is indeed normal. "They all do it."
If you have an old mercury-bulb HVAC thermostat, there is a spark in there, too.
as long as you dont shower or bath with the toaster you should be ok![]()

Excellent advice!! Probably not a bad idea to look at installing some home automation too.I think you should call an electrician and have that receptacle replaced. It's obviously supplying too much electricity to your toaster and can be quite dangerous.
You also might want to ask him if you should upgrade your service to 200 amps to be sure that you don't start a fire. Don't go cheap, you'll regret it.
