    If you're an electrician and only installing the dimmer exactly as the old one is easy. To figure out which wire goes where when there is no guide dimmer is another thing Thanks

    An outlet not powered doesn't mean it's on the circuit that's off. It might just be defective. You need to first verify that everything works when all breakers are on.

    Step 1: Go to Lowes or Home Depot and buy 100 Not Automatic night lights and KEEP THE RECEIPT. Step 2 : return home and plug a light into every outlet your house including the outlets for the unplugged refrigerator and freezer. Step 3: make a sketch of the outlet layout and assign numbers to each outlet and switch . Make a drawing later.... but if you get this much done you are 100% better off. Step 4: Turn on every wall switch in the house including the garbage disposal (put garage door remote in your pocket). Step: 5 Turn every breaker off Step 6 get a cold beer. Step 7 Turn 1st breaker on and do a walk through the house with your clip board. log all the active circuits in the house on your notebook. Step 8: return all the lights to the store. Step 9 get another beer. I think this is the most time efficient and least frustrating system. Two people can do this in 1/2 the time... 4 people in about 15 minutes. Give them beer. Thanks for your video , it caused me to think about using your method but adding some out of the box (breaker box :-) thinking.

    My 3 way touch lamp wouldn't turn on. I opened it up and looked at the wires the lamp turned on. put the bottom back on, returned it to its place and after a minute or so it turned off and wouldn't turn on. Now when I touch it, sometimes, it begins to light up but then turns completely off without fully lighting up..advice?? suggestions??

      Hi. Sorry for the delay. I don't recall the part number. I took the base apart, took the part out, and then headed to either Home Depot or Lowe's. Of course, once you have the base apart, you can Google it to find the closest location for that part. Good luck!

    Hello. Just a quick question and you may have addressed this and I just missed it? After you confirmed circuit #1 & #2 were not the correct ones, did your partner turn those back on before moving to next circuit? Otherwise when you kept checking outlets, don't you risk mis-identifying those outlets with #3? They possibly could be #1 or #2 if not turned back on. Thanks.

    Question... when a circuit trips, is the switch itself suppose to move to the off position by itself? Also, I think my panel is all screwed up, I don't see the main shut off above just a series of switches below.

    • @houseandgardenhacks2935
      @houseandgardenhacks2935 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      The light switch will not move. The light just won't turn on. It is the breaker that might/will move. Sometimes you have to look closely to see that it isn't in the fully open position. Turning it off and then on again helps to check it. If you don't have a main shut off on the panel, look elsewhere. Start by following the main electrical line coming from the street. If you can't find one, it's time to talk to a certified electrician. Good luck.

  • @mostlikelywedoitservices6926
    @mostlikelywedoitservices6926 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    If doing by yourself. Couple ways. Long extension cord plugged into outlet now other end near panel with light attached. Another one hook radio or a vacuum to outlet for noise. Flip breakers till light or noise turns off.
