Stop using the affected equipment or area
A burning odor associated with outlets, switches, wiring, panels, or electrical equipment can indicate overheating. Smoke, visible arcing, or an active fire is an emergency.
Do not rely on a website to diagnose the source
Odors can travel and the source may not be where the smell seems strongest. Appropriate professional evaluation is safer than repeatedly energizing the circuit to see whether the smell returns.
