I replaced both the receptacle and cover plate in my bathroom . The previous brown leviton 15a duplex had gotten worn to the point that plugs wouldn't stay in properly. The cover plate was one of the real wood ones . It's so thick that the receptacle was slightly recessed by about 1/8" below the face of the cover plate . Is the plate what killed the outlet ? no idea ! I installed a used lighted hospital grade Ivory 15a.with EOL lighting I removed from a truck at work along with a normal plastic cover plate I got from ReStore for 25ยข
This setup consists of a 2 gang box with a switch on one side and the duplex on the other . The switch is still the previously installed brown one .
