Thank you for resolving my electrical issue. My outlets in the Master Bathroom weren't working. I found the GFCI outlet in the downstairs bathroom and reset it. Wouldn't you know it, this allowed the ARC fuses in my electrical panel to release and reset back to the "on" position!! I'm good to go! All outlets are up and running and the lights are back on! Praise be to God! You out here saving lives!😊😊😊 Much appreciated.

@youvelookedbetter Ай бұрын

OMG, thank you so much. I watched other videos and they didn't explain that the switches in the circuit box that are slightly away from the ON position have been tripped. I thought they had to be closer to center or in the OFF position. I missed it the first time I checked out the box, but after taking a closer look I saw one switch that was a tiny bit away from the ON position. I made sure to move it to the OFF position and then back to ON. As someone who lives alone, this was so helpful.

You saved me $100. We had a trip happen yesterday, when a landscaper wanted to plug in his saw into a GFCI outlet outside. It didn't work so he went to another outlet, not realizing a trip occured. I only notice this morning that the outlets in my bathroom were off, as were outlets in my other bathroom upstairs. I wound up calling for an electrician, but it would be a while before they come out, but after watching this video, I got the knowledge I needed to realize how circuit breakers trip and what position the switch is in to identify the trip. I went to my panel and found the breaker that tripped, reset it properly and voila, I have power again. Thinking ahead if it happens again, with anything, the GFCI could be bad or perhaps even the breaker itself, but at least i walked away with good solid knowledge I can use in the future, thanks!

Your GFCI and Panel are in the same place as my garage, as I found out when my son said what is the button for on the socket tester and pressed it, and the GCFI tripped. I had never seen that socket / GFCI before as I have a rack in front of it full of paint and stuff, and for a while wondered why my panel breaker had not tripped, but the other socket he tested was still dead lol.

@apackwestbound5946 Жыл бұрын

Scott, thank you yet again for another outstanding video. On a "dead" outlet I had once the root cause dated back decades earlier when the house was built the electrician "back stabbed" (speed wired) the outlets. Over the years either the neutral or the hot wire ( don't remember which one) simply backed out of the hole it had been shoved into (designed in the receptacle) itself decades earlier. I had been running a vacuum cleaner and I inadvertently jerked the power cord out of the outlet and the outlet no longer functioned. So, in addition to all the causes you mentioned the homeowner could have an issue with the wiring itself or the outlet. You might mention that it is a good idea to label outlets that are protected by GFCI and/or AFCI outlets or circuit breakers in the panel itself. Most GFCI's I come across have numerous small labels included inside the packaging designed to communicate the same thing. I am NOT a licensed electrician.

Excellent video! Also, another common cause for no power to an outlet is where the outlet and other outlets downstream are “back stabbed” where the wire become loose in the outlet. As a result, no power flows to the outlet and many times half the room has power and the other half doesn’t have power.

@TheFacelessPoet Жыл бұрын

How would u fix this?

@billhandymanbill2775 Жыл бұрын

@@TheFacelessPoet very simple to fix…simply turn off the power to that circuit and remove the “back stabbed” wire from the outlet by pushing a thin screwdriver in the slot next to the wire and push in to release and remove the wire(s) from the receptacle. Reinstall the wires onto the receptacle in the same location(s) but this time secure each wire under each screw and tighten. The screws give a good firm electrical connection and the problem will clear up. Reinstall receptacle and turn on power. I don’t understand why the NEC (National Electrical Code) still allows “back stabbing” when they know it has future problems ahead.

Good opportunity to recommend making sure your service panel is properly labeled and that all circuits are labeled. As a home inspector very common to see circuits not labeled in a panel. Always recommend clients make sure all circuits are labeled and to check to make sure all existing labeling is correct. If a recetacle is GFCI protected, but not a GFCI receptacle, recommend identifying where tge GFCI protection is, e.g. breaker at panel or a GFCI receptacle. While it is common for the GFCI protection to be from an adjacent GFCI receptacle, I have seen the protection to be from a GFCI receptacle literally at the other end of a home. Having this identified, likrly at the service panel, will hopefully save someone time and the frustration of trying to figure out why there is no power to a receptacle or what needs to be reset if a breaker or GFCI receptacle is tripped.

@SwingboyPA 2 жыл бұрын

You could have a loose neutral on the load side of the GFCI or where the neutral would connect to the 2nd receptacle.. Also: if you are getting that reading *only* when using a GFCI tester, then the receptacle is probably not grounded (an ungrounded GFCI will trip using it's built-in tester, but a plug-in tester won't trip it).
