Electrical Wall Outlet Not Working

A bad connection or a tripped breaker.

Electrical wall outlet not working.

Gary a homeowner from centerville ohio see more about home wiring for ohio. It s fairly common to find that one wall in the home has seemingly lost power to all its outlets. Are the electrical outlets not working on one wall. This electrical question came from.

When a wall outlet doesn t work there are two possible reasons. Tackling this starts with unplugging everything not currently working in these outlets. Once you isolate it don t use the appliance again until you have an electrician rewire the outlet. The reason why most wall sockets and wall outlets are not.

When an outlet goes dead it s easy to jump to conclusions and assume the worst but more often than not the problem is something simple and you can save the cost of a service call just by taking a few steps to trace the cause. Still none of the electrical sockets tied in together are working though the circuit breaker is ok. Rarely will conventional non gfci outlet fail but this does happen sometimes. The bad connection is usually in the outlet itself and finding the tripped breaker may boil.

On the off chance that it s not the electrical outlet but rather your cell phone charger that s not working plug something else into the same outlet such as a hairdryer or a lamp. Thanks for your electrical troubleshooting question gary.
