OP, if the home is within the first year, call home warranty to have repaired. If not, I would go to one of the big box stores, and get a new outside cover, I like the ones with a big plastic cover instead of the small individual covers. It should be a simple task to remove the old cover and install a new one. If the problem continues, there may be another problem, either another outside receptacle or damaged wiring. You can get your house plans from Sumter county building department and one of the sheets shows the house wiring. This will give you an idea of where to look.
Hope this helps, and send me a PM with your contact info if you would like to discuss further.
