In Reply to: RE: Top /bottom of AC outlet posted by moray james on August 20, 2022 at 17:45:27:
the incoming AC cable is connected one of two ways unless there is something different about the outlet
1 - AC cable goes to 2 screw connections on the side shared equally by both outlets
2 - outlets have 2 'insertion' points on the back where you strip the wires about 1/2 inch and push them straight in the backside of the outlet
only an inspection will reveal what's going on. It's also possible that one set of tangs inside are just plain bad with improper contacts or oxidation
