My experience with an open or loose neutral wire, is that the problem
is usually outside of house. The problem is usually with the electric
company's wiring. Call the electric company. They usually don't charge
to check their equipment.


The problem is only at one wall outlet inside the house. Please
explain how it could be caused by a problem outside the house. .


Bilfre-

This problem exists somewhere between a power company transformer and
where the neutral connects in your breaker box.

When I had the problem, I called the power company. Their man checked
the transformer, but said I would have to hire an electrician to fix my
end of the circuit. While he had the meter removed, he went ahead and
tightened the connection there, which solved my problem.
