Tips for Troubleshooting an Electrical Outlet
Before you start troubleshooting, we want to give you some safety tips. Do not overload your electrical outlets with things, don’t place any items that are too large for your outlets, make sure all outlet plates are secure, and keep all wiring safely tucked away. Now, let’s get into troubleshooting…
When troubleshooting for electrical outlet issues, always make sure the outlet is the problem by plugging in different devices into the outlet. Check to see if there are any other outlets that aren’t working. Before you get started, you want to make sure you know exactly what isn’t working and in what rooms.
First, start by trying the reset buttons on your outlets if you have them.
Sometimes outlets trip and these are easy fixes. If this doesn’t fix your problem, head to the breaker box.
Your breaker box should be labeled for which switch connects to which room. Look to see if any of your circuit breakers are ‘off’ and switch them back on. Any blown fuses are located in your electrical panel. You will easily be able to identify if any of your fuses are blown, if not, move onto the next step.
If the breaker continues to trip on that one area, this is a sign that the problem is much more intense. If you tried the reset button on the outlet, you checked out the breaker box, and you tried resetting your fuses, it’s time to call in the big guns.
