Any idea what’s going on with my golden toe?
Any help would be great thank you.

Hi everyone,

Recently I noticed that my hot tub receptacle and plug had some damage. The breaker never flipped, so I was completely unaware of this until I unplugged it to drain and refill the tub.

If you look closely at the receptacle you can see a small crack above the bottom outlet.

I have replaced the receptacle, and will replace the hot tub plug as well. My question is, what could have caused this? And how can I prevent this in the future?

Some context regarding the tub: We just got through winter, our tub cover is old, and the tub could probably use a new heating coil.

I would normally use the hot tub on Saturday’s so Friday’s I would crank it from 96 to 103, and drop it back to 96 after use.

Thank you!
