What was the problem in the end of you don’t mind me asking? Is it safe as it is right now?
Water got into it. It kept popping and had smoke pop out of it each time (one time fire). It had melted a bunch of plastic and despite being dry it would keep smoking, so that's why we got an electrician. It's no longer smoking so I guess it wasn't completely dry last I checked. I did also clean the socket myself as it had a bunch of grease(?) and weird gunk inside it, so maybe that helped?
Hahaha, probably not. It's a power outlet next to the sink and it has huge gaps where it meets the tile wall. Don't know how this is the first time I got water in it, but it'll probably happen again at some point.
