Outlet not working?
Let’s check the likely causes.
How much power is out?
FAQs
▶Why did my outlet stop working?
A dead outlet may be caused by a tripped GFCI, tripped breaker, loose connection, failed outlet, overloaded circuit, moisture, or wiring issue.
▶What should I check first?
Check nearby GFCI outlets, the breaker panel, and whether other outlets in the same room are working. Avoid opening the outlet or touching wiring.
▶Can one GFCI outlet affect other outlets?
Yes. One GFCI outlet can protect other outlets downstream, so resetting it may restore power to multiple outlets.
▶Is a dead outlet dangerous?
It can be. If the outlet is warm, discolored, buzzing, sparking, or smells burnt, stop using it and schedule electrical service.
▶When should I call for electrical repair?
Call if the outlet will not reset, keeps losing power, feels warm, sparks, has burn marks, or several outlets are affected.
