What Would Cause Stove Plug To Arc?
Husband tried to unplug from wall only to have it arc twice. Finally got it unplug but when he plugged it back in, it not only arced but probably fried the cord (and possibly the stove as well).

The plug over time gets carbonized ,. This carbon is conductive and therefor electricity arcs through it when unplugged

Makes sense except that my stove is only probably two years old. Would this still happen?
All I can say is it is possible . The cord itself may have been defective causing it get to hot , over time this will fry the cord. I doubt seriously that your stove itself suffered any damage.
Doesn't sound right. The stove wasn't turned on I assume.
It has a separate breaker normally. Turn off the breaker when putting plug in or out.

I would say that maybe it is because of the way you are pulling the cord out to unplug it. Maybe the cord needs to be replaced if possible. That is just my guess. Good luck.

There is a short somewhere, and you should try a new cord and plug for the stove, and check out the outlet too, it could be in there. You might want an electrician for this so you are safe and don't lose your home. Hope this helps, good luck.
