TwinIon Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 I’d be wary of plugging too much into an ungrounded outlet. Why You Should Replace Your 2-Prong Outlets WWW.CLOVERELECTRIC.COM 2-pring outlets don’t have the necessary ground wire to protect from electrical hazards. The ground wire helps prevent electrical shock, electrical fires and damage to electronics. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any suggestions? Replace them with 3-prong outlets. Use one of these to ensure they're wired correctly.

Remarkableriots Posted May 19, 2023 Author Share Posted May 19, 2023 @TwinIon Just plugging in my mom's adjustable bed base. I found a plug behind her dresser so I'll be rearranging her room. Both things are so heavy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new bed is going to be great relief for her back pain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
