It could be caused by any number of problems, from faulty wiring to a damaged neutral wire at the breaker panel or meter base. If you do not have experience working with wiring, stay clear. It can result in personal injury of even a house fire. This is exactly the type of problem that results in electrical fires. You should have it checked out as soon as possible.
The power outlet may not be working due to a tripped circuit breaker, a blown fuse, a faulty outlet, or a wiring issue. Check the circuit breaker and reset it if needed, inspect and replace any blown fuses, try plugging in another device to see if the outlet is working, and call an electrician if the issue persists.
There are several possible causes:
- The outlet has gone bad such as internal contacts corroded or bent so they don't make a connection.
- The wire on the outlet is not connect or loose, not connected properly
- There is a break in the wire somewhere
- No power going to the outlet from the source, which could also be caused by a bad fuse
Are you certain that the appliance you are trying is in working order? Try it somewhere else. Are you sure that there is power to the socket, plug something else in that you know works. If there is a switch on the socket, is it broken? Ditto fuse in socket if there is one.
