    Tapping sound behind outlet/wall when using toaster?

    I noticed that he has the refrigerator on a 15amp receptacle. He is coming later to change that other GFCI tonight. I know he made this outlet from wires that also feed the refrigerator he said. Not sure if that has anything to do with the noise?

    Should the Refrigerator be on a 20 amp receptacle?

    They only click when the toaster is on. Otherwise, there is no noise at all

    Haha! I’m in California and it’s only 2200 here.

    Would he have to get into the wall behind the backsplash? There’s wires in an electrical box behind the plate. Also, I found the box he used in the trash and he replaced it with another 15amp receptacle. What causes an electrical relay clicking? Could it be the receptacles?

    So should both of them be changed to a 15 amp GFCI receptacle? Or should the other (on the right) be changed to a 20 amp to match the left?

    I have no idea why he didn’t. Do you think that will make a difference? So now the one on the left is a 20 amp and the one on the right is a 15 amp and I’m wondering if that’s why it’s doing it still?

    Omg! The noise is back! He only switch one of them (the one with the black and red buttons) I just took another video 1581287623

    So the outlet was a 15 amp and he put a 20 amp outlet in and the noise is gone. Do you think it was not enough amps? Or arcing?

    Thank you! I’ll let you know if that worked.

    Good idea! This is in a 4 plug receptacle and all the plugs cause the knock. Do you recommend replacing the entire receptacle? There is 2 different one’s. I’ll attach a pic.

    It is a GFCI receptacle. What initiates the knocking is when I am using the toaster. If the toaster is plugged in and not in use there is no knocking. There is no knocking in general until I actually turn on the toaster. I bought a new toaster to make sure it wasn’t the toaster causing the issue...

    I’m positive! There’s just the stove. The plumbing is on the other wall
