I have a couple of 110V house outlets that when I plug something into them it is very rough, kind of like a dragging feeling. Any ideas other than replace?

Best just to replace a only a few bucks each...
Yeah.. They are actually pretty easy to change.. But make sure power is off.. I was scared to mess with and electrical in fear of doing something wrong.. After seeing so many people doing their own, it's pretty simple deal.. Make sure positive festive and ground go to correct screws.. About like hooking up a car or boat battery...
I Believe in Catch & Release...
Only when I don't have Witnesses..
Is this a fairly recently built home? The tamper-proof outlets required by recent code changes have an interior cover that has to be moved aside as the plug is inserted - these can be difficult even when new.
Replace them.......Originally Posted by Zpilot
remember to turn off the power. Remember the black wire goes to the gold terminal, the white goes to the silver terminal, and the ground goes to the green terminal. If in doubt ask the person in the electrical department. Turn off the power. Check that nothing makes contact when putting it back in the box.
Black to brass to save your a**.
White to silver.
I like that saying
