Electricity Went Out On One Wall

Thanks for your electrical troubleshooting question gary.

Electricity went out on one wall.

This could be causing the other outlets to also have no power. Tonight i stepped inside the front door of my house and flipped the light switch for the front porch lights and they failed come on and the front wall which supplies power to an interior room lost power. I checked a power strip inside and looked at the breakers and i have not found a tripped breaker. Think of it like the old christmas lights.

Living rooms and similar large rooms and kitchens commonly have two outlet circuits on the assumption that a lot of electrical demand may occur simultaneously in that room bedrooms commonly only. 1 that room has two or more circuits for outlets lights and one has a broken wire or the breaker tripped out on one circuit that dead one. You must determine which outlet is the first in the row to not be working. One circuit can go out without affecting others.

If you ve noticed a switch on the wall that didn t seem to go to anything it could very well control a half hot outlet flip this switch and then try the outlet again. Thanks for your electrical repair question dwayne. Electricity is off but circuit breaker isn t tripped when the lights go out in one or more rooms or in a series of electrical outlets the culprit is sometimes a circuit breaker or a fuse has blown. We ve all experienced power outages.

I had my computer plugged into the wall it was sitting on my desk. In simple terms the outlets that are not working may be daisy chained. If part of your house loses electricity you may not have a serious electrical problem. First time on site but not the last.

When one went out they all went out. The rest of the house seems normal its just this wall that has gone out. Maybe during a storm or maybe that time you had eighteen cords running off that one socket oops or maybe totally randomly and for seemingly no reason at all. The rest of the house does have electricity.

This wall stretches from the kitchen to the living room. Your outlets may also be wired this way. And the whole house is dark and all the appliances go quiet and it s quite clear that something s gone wrong in a very centralized way. This resulted in a small spark and instantly all the power in my room went out.

Basically i lost electricity in one room. One circuit can go out without affecting others. Outlets lost power electrical question why is it that the outlets on one side of the wall have lost power while the other still has power. Your house s electrical system uses several parallel circuits to distribute electricity separately to various parts of the house.

Well gary that s what happens when you decide to clean the house. My tv lights ceiling fan aquarium. In all seriousness you did not have too many things on at one time otherwise you would have tripped the circuit breaker.
