and have it inspected.
A little discoloration can sometimes indicate that the receptacle or its connections have been exposed to excessive heat.
What Should You Do?
If you encounter an outlet that appears to be glowing, don’t touch the outlet or remove the cover plate to investigate while it’s energized.
If it is safe to do so, stop using anything connected to the receptacle.
If you know which circuit supplies the outlet and can safely access your electrical panel, turn off the corresponding circuit breaker.
Then contact a qualified electrician
