Pulling the plug won't cause any problems for an outlet. It's just
like turning off the switch. It might eventually cause damage to the
plug-cord connection. Have you tried plugging something you know
works into this outlet, or plugging the vacuum into another outlet to
verify it still works.


Unplugging would cause more vibration at the outlet. This could break
a connection that was loose already.
