We have replaced them often.
Just turn off all electricity. Buy a 4.00 voltage tested just to be safe when you pick up what you need.
Often it is not the actual outlet but the wire has come loose. There is some trick to which direction the wire should be bent around the screw so when you tighten it, it does not push it away eventually.
Use electrical tape, twist connectors etc. Secure everything. Entire outlet replacement takes all of 10 minutes or so. Doing it yourself often saves like 80.00 or whatever the minimum service call most electricians charge.
You can find step by step instructions on most DIY type sites.
