I have a new home I just moved into about 3 months ago. The last week or so, I've noticed a weird odor in my master bedroom that I finally tracked down to 2 outlets along one wall in that room.
The smell is a little hard to describe - maybe a little bit fishy, and sort of like insulation.
I know the usual cause of a smell like this is loose wiring that melts the plastic, but when I pulled one outlet apart I didn't see anything that appeared to be loose. I also didn't feel any heat around the outlets or on the covers themselves.
Any ideas on what could be causing this? I'm not even sure who I should call to come look at it if I can't sort it out. The smell started out pretty faint, but has gotten pretty distracting the last day or two.
Thanks for any help.
