Why does the outlet stop working 5 minutes after turning on the load?

Alexey asks:

I plug in the vacuum cleaner, after 5 minutes the current in the socket disappears. After a while, appears again. Reason and what to do? Tell me please.

The answer to the question:

Look for a problem in the distribution box, also check the contacts in the socket, both the terminals where the wires are connected, and the contacts themselves where the plug is inserted, as well as the distribution boxes. Perhaps they heat up and the electrical contact with the wire disappears. Does this only happen in one outlet? If not, then check the distribution boxes.
