I have a loose electrical socket within my room and when I try to plug things in they wont turn in adjectives the way so can I only try to screw it back contained by by myself to make it work?
If the screw are loose you can snug them up so the ears of the receptacle touch the wall board. DON"T forget to turn off the breaker beforehand you remove the cover plate!!! once you have tightened the receptacle put the cover plate hindmost on then turn the power on. polite luck and be careful. most residential fires are cause by electricity
Has it fall apart inside?
If it has I would suggest you get somebody who knows what they are doing to enjoy a look at it.
If it is just loose tighten up the screw holding it to the wall.
But by what you say - if you cannot grasp the plug in, I would contemplate you need expert comfort.
I would hate to support you to fiddle beside it and get you electrocuted.
Please don't jiggle with it if you are not sure.
Answers: I'm not sure what is loose. If plugs won't be in motion all the path into a receptacle, you need to own the receptacle replaced. The guy who said 120 volts won't kill you is agency off substructure. More people are kill in the USA from 120 volts than any other voltage.
