I'm puttin my money on it's a bad recpt. that has been stabbed in the back instead of hooking the wires onto the screw. See it all the time in houses with that kind of age in Shelby county. It's a faster way for guys to wire houses. Shoot me a PM if you want.

Have you pulled and checked the nearest outlets? I'd bet on it being a loose connection on one that feeds the inoperative outlet.

Sounds like the fridge did it because of a power interruption.

I'll check the nearest outlet this afternoon. Others have mentioned this possibility but I don't think I understood what they meant till now. Thanks.
