The tension on the blades of the cord cap to the receptacle does not have enough pressure to make a good connection. Whenever a receptacle feels loose when you plug an appliance into it, change the receptacle out for a new one. This will prevent the condition you state from happening.

Can you plug in a 12 vdc fan to house current outlet?

If you do it will burn the winding immediately and make the fan inoperable. So, No, don't plug in ANY 12VDC device into a 120 outlet.


Can you install a 220 V baseboard heater at an electric range outlet where an electric range will no longer be used and Can a range pigtail be connected to the wall anchored heater and simply plugged?

Yes, I see no reason this couldn't be done. But first, make sure the current drawn by the heater is 80% or less than the rating of the circuit and outlet. As for connecting a cord to this heater, that, too, should be a simple matter. I would look for what we call a knock-out, which is a hole punched but not yet removed from the area where electrical connections are to be made. You will need to buy a NM cable connector large enough for the cable. If there is no knock-out or if it is not large enough for the connector you need, you can hole-saw a hole to the size you need. If there is not room to do this cleanly then you should contact a competent electrician for more specific advice.


Can you use acetone in a kerosene heater?

No, it is not safe to use acetone in a kerosene heater. Acetone is a highly flammable liquid that can ignite easily and produce harmful fumes when burned.

Using acetone in a kerosene heater can pose serious safety risks and should be avoided.


Can i get 220 volt out of 120volt outlet?

Portable heaters are safe to use in the manner written on the heaters instructions. Some portable heaters are meant for use outdoors only, so using those heaters indoors would not be safe.
