Breaker is on but electrical outlets lights are not working.
This is not a 100% solution for your issue but I've had many service request as a Residential Electrician where solution was just what I tried to explain in this video!
Sequence. First check outlet for power. Second, check breakers for tripped one. Third, reset any gfci's in the house as one may be feeding regular outlets and they aren't labeled as they should be. After that then you check nearby outlets to locate any other's that aren't working. You never start at the end of a circuit, you start in the middle. Meaning you need to locate the last hot plug before power is lost. Then you know the issue is in the dead receptacle or in the last hot one. Now you're ready to find the problem.
my gfci tripped in one room which caused 3 outlets in other rooms to lose power
Excellent explanation thanks for time making this video🎉❤😅😊 thanks again
I have this issue but couldn't follow anything you said.
uploaded new 3 min video, check it out it could be more helpful
I followed everything just fine maybe don't work on your own eletric then. It might be safer to have someone come do it.
You should have explained what to do if the voltage tester says there's no power, but you haven't turned the power off yet at the breaker box
facts!
I will make an update video with real example troubleshooting those
I found my exterior Gfci wasn't working, I replaced for weather Proof Gfci, and It worked a little bit, not it's doing again, not power on that circuit, leaving my ac outlet with not power, and circuit braker not tripped
make sure it's not protected by another gfci that is installed inside. look behind that same wall and look for another gfci. test wires with voltmeter and see what voltage you have, also make sure it's not switched outlet.
@@remoteelectrician thank you for your answer. I removed all the outlets to check any of then burned out, but all of them were OK. on that circuit there's only that GFCI, I have a feeling there's something wrong with circuit braker in the panel, I think it's time to get licensed electrician. 😔 I'm very frustrated.
I had one dead outlet several years ago, in my outlaws house. It was a split outlet with ganged fuses. One of the fuses was a dud.
Hello !, I have a mayor problem, I turned off breaker then I instolled two new outlet on and two pandect light on ceiling after all I installed everything and turn on breaker back it work for a few mins. then it cut off by it self but breaker remain on and I checked the line a few time to see what cause it and still I'm confuse what went wrong can anyone be kind help me figure this out please .
loose wiring in that circuit you worked on. hire someone and get it done professionally sounds like it did poor job with those updates.
My freiking GFCI in the bathroom was feeding off my fan phone charger and lamp i hate when they do that
I guess they did it to pass home inspection
My emotional support human plugged his iron into an outlet in the kitchen. The lights stopped working and also two outlets. I went through these steps, no breaker tripped, i took out the outlets and there is like a shit load of plaster all over them. I feel dumb, the wires are connected and I am not seeing anything with the wires themselves except for the ungodly amount of plaster. Should i throw in the towel and have someone come out?
if outlet wires have power it could be loose wiring or tripped gfci outlet
What if my outlets only have 2 prongs?
2 prong is just old outlet without ground wire.
This I know. But your testing device has 3 prongs…so what would one do when they only have 2 prongs…do they make a testing device for 2 prong outlets?

Please identify the tools you're using
Non-Contact Voltage Tester and GFI Tester
Is he saying ‘Three, four years’? Or… thirty four years…
FOCUS! - 357 years
Ok, so my outlet didn’t work in my bedroom so I guess there was no power??? So I took my knife and stabbed my 240 dryer cord and got absolutely ate up with electricity. So I guess that ain’t the problem…or is it? Idk
lol, big appliances have their own dedicated circuit.
@@remoteelectrician yeah right
You are impossible to get any help from....... why is there no power. Dont need a safty class🙄🙄🙄
sorry brother, my first ever video
@@remoteelectrician Don't listen to them, it's important to know the safety side of this as handling any live wires can be incredibly dangerous. Great video man, keep it up.
Oh I’m sorry that the video someone took the time out of their life to record , edit and post didnt answer YOUR specific needs, but maybe not everything on TH-cam was created specifically for you. Ya weirdo.
Seriously? This comment is so rude, yeah let's skip the safety portion of it🙄 you do realize this man is an exemplary example of a true teacher. You can skip where you need since you know how to not get electrocuded.
@@leannabedore most people have common sense.....guess you're not one if you need to be told not to touch live wires🙄🙄🙄
