I plugged in an old appliance.
I put two prongs into a three prong switch - never been a problem
before.
I used the appliance just fine.
I went to remove the plug and it will NOT come out!
Any ideas?? I'm stumped as to why this would happen.


It might have arced and produced a spot weld. Pry it out with a
screwdriver and inspect for arcing. I'd replace the outlet in any case,
by the way.
Ouch. Better cut the power before using a screwdriver that way!

Aw, common. What do you suggest?
