Dead outlet
Answer: call a electrician.
An outlet that suddenly stops working may have a tripped GFCI, a loose wire connection, or a damaged receptacle. While sometimes a simple reset fixes it, persistent dead outlets can signal a wiring issue that needs professional attention. An electrician can safely diagnose and repair the connection.
