Old electrical receptacle should be replaced

Before working on electrical receptacle, deenergize circuit that controls it. Inspect old

receptacle to see whether it can take a plug with a round prong (for grounding) in addition to two

flat blades. Buy new receptacle with 20-amp rating of same type - grounded or ungrounded - as

one you're replacing.

Remove two screws holding receptacle in electrical box. Carefully pull receptacle out of

box as far as attached line wires allow. Loosen terminal screws on receptacle and remove line

wires.

Tighten the two screws that hold receptacle in receptacle box, then replace cover plate.

Restore fuse or trip circuit breaker.

Take off plate that covers receptacle by removing center screw with screwdriver. If cover

doesn't come off easily, it's probably being held in place by several coats of paint. Carefully cut

paint closely around edge of cover plate with razor blade or utility knife.

Carefully fold wires into space in electrical box behind receptacle, then push receptacle

into box. Although there's no such thing as right side up for a two-blade receptacle, there is a

correct position for receptacles designed to handle three-prong grounding plugs. Grounding

plugs often attach to their cords at a right angle, so you should position receptacle so cord will

hang down without a loop.

Connect wires to new electrical receptacle with white wire under silver-color screw and

black wire under dark-color screw. If you discover a green wire or a bare wire in box, fasten wire

under screw that has dab of green color on it, then fasten it to box with grounding screw or clip.

Make sure to loop line wires in clockwise direction under heads of terminal screws so screw

heads will pull wire loops tighter.
