Wall Sockets and Outlets with No Power
[ad#block] Electrical Question: At first, there was no power to the outlet sockets on one side of the room. I reset the circuit breaker to that room. Now there is no electrical power to the whole room. What can I do to get my outlets working again?
This electrical wiring question came from: Myra, a Homeowner from Anaheim, California
Additional Comments: I hope this website could help me with my problem. I can’t afford an electrician.

- Myra, make sure the breaker is reset properly by turning it all the way off then back on.
- If the trouble still persists then there is a problem with the circuit and it will need to be identified and then repaired.
- The problem could be at one of the wall sockets or outlets where the wiring connects to the outlet or it could be a wiring splice in one of the outlet boxes within the outlet circuit.
