Why are my light switch plates bowing outwards?
I have several light switch cover plates that are bowing out. There doesn't seem to be any pressure on them as if I overtightened the screws. It seems like heat or something else is causing them to bend out. I did find a way to straighten them though... Place them in the oven at 225 degrees for about 10 minutes or so. Flat now but why did they bend in the first place.....
You stumped me. In 45 + years of electrical work I have never run across this one. I have seen them burned and melted in places from loose connections and arcing. But never bowed. Do they feel hot? If they feel hot, call an electrician. But the chances of having a bad switch or connection in more than one switch at a time is like winning the lottery. Not likely. Leave some comments. Which way did they bow, in or out? Interesting. Good luck.
