Hearing electrical Spark noises(ignition sound)will turning fuse off stop the proble

Meganjones

Hearing ignition sounds / electric sparks every now and then, in the kitchen part of the house.

Heard this can be dangerous if left unattended, as can spark and start a fire.


What can this possibly mean?




For the meantime (until an electrician comes),

If in the meantime, that particular fuse (for that zone) is turned off, from the main fuse box, that will turn off the electricity supply at that kitchen zone, but will that stop this sparkling noise problem (until the fuse box in that part is switched back on) ??

cutting of the power supply to that kitchen zone, will it stop the spark noises come, (as that is where they are coming from, and if there is no flow of electricity then they cannot come right?)

If I understood your post correctly then yes you are correct.

No electric = no sparks

If you no longer hear the sparking sound then that pretty much confirms there are no sparks taking place.

and you could run a good quality extension lead from another area to keep your freezer going

Yes, for your safety tonight, isolate the area or appliance you suspect. If I had to do it, I could turn things off separately the way mine's wired rather than having to do the whole room.

If you turn the light out, does that enable you to see which appliance is sparking?

Any burning smell?

another post and leave

lights and cooker are usually on a different circuit

Most likely ignition device on gas hob.

Isolate that only and see if it stops
