I'm cleaning this cabinet above the range/micro and noticed this mark on the back. I mostly keep cooking oils, vinegars, etc in here. Does this look serious?
Update: well it ain't pretty, but it shouldn't burn the house down. For anyone concerned, my electrician approves. Thank you all for your help today.
It's an IKEA cabinet with a melamine backing. I'm going to pull the micro and cabinet out and we'll see what that shows us
That it's melamine changes my thinking. Looks like a hot nail but guess it's not.
Gonna change my mind to stain or burn.
Hoo boy you must be insanely glad you caught this when you did.
Absolutely
Jesus, good decision. Call an electrician because you're not going to know what else whoever put that in did.
