DUDE THIS VIDEO SAVED MY NIGHT and my tomorrow, within the first 47 seconds! I was on the verge of tears. Being a single woman it's essential to know stuff. With your help I was able to get my washing machine going. I pray that GOD does something really amazing for you for being a blessing to me!
I'm here because of my dryer
😂 need me to youtube this w you
I'm a single woman as well, and my security system stopped working due to this issue! This video just saved me $185 to hire an electrician! I hope this man is still receiving blessings from 2014!
I literally just went through this less than 5 mins ago and came across this video, then saw this comment and felt the exact same way?
@@jenniferhaynes4018 Sure does seem to be a lot of single women watching this stud's video.
I had tried to reset my GFCi it did not work, I checked the breakers they were on, I turned on and off nothing happened, then i watched this video and checked the panel breaker again I did everything here then My outlet worked. I almost call an electrician for 150Dls an hour. Thank you I saved some money.
I am a new homeowner as of a week ago and this tip just saved me a ton of money. Electrician was going to charge me 200 dollars just to come by and visit and earliest was not available until mid January 2022. This helped a lot and just wanted to say thank you!
My reset button is missing outside and no idea how that happened. Breaker doesn't reset it.
Saved me an electrician's bill. Our one bathroom had a GFCI and the other didn't. It stopped working and I could not figure it out until I saw your video. Many thanks.
This video literally just helped me cut the lights back on in my garage and the garage door opens again. I was nervous I thought I was going to have to get an electrician.
Thank you! I was about to call an electrician as the outlets were dead in all three of my bathrooms. What an easy fix. You saved me time, frustration, and money. 😊
OMG thank you so much, didn't know one of the outlets could cause the whole circuit to stop working
Thanks Ryan Reynolds/Chuck Norris
Looks like a better looking version of Arnold too.
😂! omg SO good

Bro, you were straight to the point and didn’t ramble. You kept it simple and sweet. Awesome!!
Thank you! Worked like a charm. I didn't know that any one of them could be causing the problem.
You just saved me $100 for not calling the electrician or better yet my life in the attempt of me replacing the receptacle for nothing. Thank You! TH-cam is awesome!
Thank you. I'm old (l0l) and we had fuses and burn marks in my bedroom closet when I was a kid and I then went on to live in older homes most of my life. So the GFCI is all new to me now that we live in a new house and I was in a quandary when my power washer kicked a GFCI. All is well again and we are back to work. Thanks for his simple and understandable video.
Thank you so much for this video!!! You just saved my day!!!!!!!! As a single woman, I need to know some things around the house. You fixed my problem within the first minute!!!!! May the almighty bless you for this video!!!!! I LOVE YOU MAN!!!!!
WOW!!! The outlet that my garbage disposal is connected to stopped working. After checking the breaker panel in my basement (which was not tripped), I couldn't figure out what the problem was. After watching your video, I went to check the outlet on the outside of my house. I didn't even realize that it had a GFCI button. I pressed the reset button, and my garbage disposal was instantly back in operation! THANK YOUR SIR!!!!!
I just moved into a new house and this happened to me last night. I thought I would have to put in a service request with Lennar, but this video helped me fix the issue. Thank you!
7 years later and this Guys video just helped me reset my circuit breaker on Christmas Eve. Thank You!
Thanks! 3 rooms without power. All breakers on. Problem was I had three breakers with the test button that I would not turn all the way to the off position. Learned from video to turn off and back on...3 rooms have power now!
My bathroom outlet hasn't been working for a week and apparently it was a really simple fix. Thanks a lot for posting!
Hi Ryan! You were RIGHT! I followed your instructions and walla! I have power in my garage. Trust me Ryan, your instructions were easy to follow. I should know because I'm seriously challenged when it comes to things like this. And I "just saved a bundle." Thank you and keep sharing with love for the neighbors. Peace out!
After watching 13 different videos on here, THANK YOU THANK YOU!! This solved my issue!!!
hi , I followed your directions, because my downstairs bedroom lights went off, I kept turning off the breakers, and waiting and turning back on, but no luck. Finally I turned off the gfi in the kitchen and bathrooms, but no luck. I went outside the back porch and press on the light on the outside switch/plug, and all of a sudden it worked. Thank u very much, I watched your video over and over, to check if I missed a step, but soon as i came home I remembered i have a gfi plug outside. Thanks again, you made the steps clear, and in order
You just saved me some $$$ bulks and time. I was able to fix my entire kitchen sockets after watching this video. God bless bro
Thank you dude! All of a sudden all of our bedroom outlets stopped working, I went to check the circuit board and test button was in the middle not on or off. Turned it on and off they all worked! Thanks again.
Almost called an electrician until I watched this. Didn't realize the tripped breaker switch had to be pushed all the way to "Off" before being turned back on. Very useful vid. Thanks!
once again, going to youtube and not having to call someone has saved me money! thank you so much!
BEST ADVICE! UNPLUG EVERYTHING in the room that is affected & then you should be able to turn the circuit breaker back on. Then plug everything in one by one. We found a faulty lamp. We almost thought we had to pay for an electrician. Hope this can help someone else!
thanks this was a life safer
+Tosin Adedokun yay, so glad this could help you too!

You are amazing! I most certainly did show up to this video at the right time. My bedroom electrical outlet went out this morning. I tested other outlets in the room which didn't work either, not even my bedroom light switch. I then called my electric company automated system to make sure there was no outage and there wasn't. I then tested the outlets and light switches in other areas of the home. Those all worked fine. I came across this video of yours and bam! I fixed it by resetting the bedroom breaker by flipping that switched. It shown "off" so I turned it on and saw the red light blink. I went back to my bedroom to test an appliance and it fixed it. Thank you so much for educating us on how to fix our own problems first before spending money with an electrician.
I tripped a breaker in one room and couldn't figure out why the outlets wouldn't turn back on until you talked about the test breaker. Didn't know about the halfway point. Thanks so much!
We are in a winter storm outlets on one side of the kitchen went out. Resetting the circuits fixed the issue. Thanks man
I really appreciate your video! My son ran over the mower cord and it killed the power to the outside outlets, which did have reset buttons. Your video led me to the other outlets and now we have outside power again. You da man!
This video saved me calling an electrician, was a tripped GFCI socket in the garage that affected most of my kitchen sockets .
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I hit the wrong breaker and reset the garage. No power at all within that breaker. The breaker was overloaded like you mentioned it may have been. Unplugged everything and Viola! RESET AND BACK IN BUSINESS
Omg you saved me. I was trying to fix it and nothing was working until I found your video. You are a life saver.
Thanks a mil. Just checked the panel and the kitchen switch was halfway. Flipped off and on and outlets started working. Great advice!
Great video. Had been working on a power outage to an outlet for weeks and weeks with no luck. Your video saved me a call to an electrician. Outlet is working now. Gained a sub customer. Thank you.
Yo! All my garage outlets stopped working, including the one powering my full deep freezer, and the outlets didn't have reset buttons. Thanks to your video I knew to hunt down the one on the other side of the garage, not powering anything, and reset it. Shout out to you!
You helped me allot I am in a time crunch and I needed my outlet to work in my kitchen Thank you for sharing what you know. Hope your day is a good one
If the gf socket is back when pushing red buttons have l to Cheng it or diffract of braked
6 years later and people still benefiting thank you so much
I had already checked the breaker and didn't notice that the breaker was slightly out of line. Thanks for posting cause I was getting frustrated and never would have known what to do
Thanks man!! Just bought a manufactured home and noticed my master bath outlet wasn't working (not a GFI outlet). Checked the breakers--all good. Went into the guest bath and that outlet (GFI) had tripped. Reset and the other one came back on! Sweeeeet. (Your cute little accent is hot, Skobel). That was a well spent 5 minutes.
Excellent Video. For the life of me I was not able to get the outside outlets to work and no circuit breaker was tripped. When you said look at all outlets on the same circuit, that was the key, I checked and one in the garage had the light on! it was causing all of them to not work!
Thank you so much for your help! My house was having this problem, and I tried everything! But the part when you said to go to the circuit breaker and flip the 'outlet' switches all the way left then all the way right, I can instantly hear the things that were plugged in being started up.
I just encountered the same problem. I know this is 4 year ls old comment, but I'm gonna try the break panel trick. It seem so easy.
The only challenge is figuring which button is for my outlet near my living room window.
condorX2 man 4 years ago... I vaguely remember posting this comment xD
I just want to Thank you!! As a single mother this video was amazing! I thought I was going to have to call the electrician out. But after watching this, all my kitchen outlets came back on! Thank you
Thanks for your video. I traced down and fixed the problem with my 10 year old daughter. Both of us learned something today!
Thank you! I was ready to call an electrician, but the bathroom outlets are all on the same GFCI. I would never have known this. Thank you!
I needed this because I tripped a breaker for the first time and almost lost my mind.
This was the QUICKEST most DIRECT video to solving this problem! Thank you so much! Simply checking the other GFCI outlets and resetting them did the trick.
Than you! Our outlets in both bathrooms weren’t working. We were about to call an electrician. You’re the best!
Thanks for the info. Circuit switch was sort of stuck in the middle but after watching this vid I tried again and was able to restore power to outlet.
Thank you this was so helpful! I had been without lights in certain rooms for a few days now...not anymore!
Thanks a lot! I missed check the outlet in the kitchen and did not know how to fix the ground line switch before. It is very helpful!
I waited two hours for a repair guy before I watched this video, this dude Ryan knows what he’s doing I did exactly as he did in my breaker box and all my outlets started working again
Thank u so much I thought I wasn’t gonna have light in my room until my husband got home but u solved my problem
Thank you very much for this video ,I could not figure out why the plugs in my bathroom would not work ,After going to the store and getting a new Circuit breaker and installing it it still did not work I got another circuit breaker installed it and it still does not work I was getting ready to go buy new outlets then I watched your video and realized that there was a GFI outlet in the guest bathroom that had a reset button on it ,that was the answer I pushed that button and it fixed my problem. I wish I would've watched your video in the beginning save me a lot of hassle.Thank you thank you
5 minutes video could save you $200 to fix this kind of problem...happens to watch this video at the right time...thank you
Thank you. My outlet had been displaying a red light for several months. I kept pushing the reset button and it wouldn’t click, so eventually I gave up. I watched this video, checked my other outlets, went back to the one that was tripped, pushed harder than usual and it’s fixed! I was so close to giving up. Thank you so much for this! 🙌🏽💖
Thank you! Had no idea what GFCI’s were, and why only half of my house outlets were working this video helped me to solve my issue!! 😃
Thanks for making this video. It was the breaker box in my case, the switch was in the middle, I might have missed this without your video, thumbs up
Thank you so much for this video! I am a first time home buyer and thought I would need to call electrician tonight. Thanks it is video I was able to reset my second breakers and regaining electricity in my master bedroom. Thank you again!
Thank you !! My Himalayan salt lamp blew out the power in half my room and was nervous bc my wi fi, fan and other things were out and my maintenance crew would only come few days later . I was able to fix it using the advice and it only took a few seconds. Thank you !
Thank you! Who knew it could be this simple. My gfci plugs in my garage were not working and I couldn't figure out what the problem was for 6 months! Sure enough I searched my outside plugs and reset them. Now everything works. Good stuff. Saved me some cash.
You have no idea all the stress u just saved me!!!! U helped me solve my problem in less than a minute.U just gained a sub. Thank you sir!!!!
Great video. Wish you would have zoomed in on the outlets and breaker box so we could see what you were talking about though.
Thank you- fixed my plug issue! One of the breakers didn’t look flipped but exactly what you said was flipped.
You ROCK!!!! Could not figure out how or why one of my bedrooms lights wouldn’t work and you fixed it for me! Appreciate you, and saving me a $150 call out from a local electrician!
Great video!! These are very common problems. One thing I would suggest, pay an electrician to do any sort of wiring in your home, you'll save money in the long-run.
Gawd. So helpful. One button pressed and now all my outlets are working (garage, front yard, and backyard). I lost power since December probably from overlading Christmas lights in the front yard. Now my water sprinkler is working ❤️
Thank you so much! This 73 year old woman was able to reset my two bathrooms outlets by finding the GSI switches (3) in the garage and pressing the red reset buttons. Such an easy tutorial.
Now I shall say thank you because I just remembered another outlet that I didn't check and Bingo, there was the culprit. Now everything is working again. Thanks for you video.
You were part of a source that just helped me get a room power back on. Just by seeing your video with the exterior outlet reset button! Thank you!
Thank you so much! I just typed how to fix electrical outlet and your video was the first one that popped up. I followed your clear instructions testing the circuit outlet and it worked! I thought I would have to spend money on getting an electrician. What a relief!
Had no idea what the GFCI outlet was before this. You helped me fix my outlet, just needed to push in the reset. Thanks for the great video
Thanks so much for helping me fix my garage outlets. They haven't been working for about 7 months
You're AMAZING! Thank You So Much! I needed to reset the outlet in the hallway bathroom to turn back on the electricity along the wall across the house and down in the garage.
Saved me a call! I didn't realize GFCI affected all outlets on a circuit - makes sense. Good stuff.
This house im in just needs to be demolished and rebuilt.
RIP Capo😢🙏 too funny man, I feel that way sometimes.
I feel your pain 😂😭
Me too, jesus christ what a nightmare. While trying to find out my power problem i ran across 4 other serious problems. Never trust your home inspector i guess.....
TheBarryWaterman thats a fact
Samee
I just moved into a new condo rental, came home & power had gone out earlier apparently. The master bath outlet would not work. I was all set to call this landlord at 1am (out of frustration because there have been several things wrong with the place). Glad I found your video before I made an ass of myself lol. Great video, short, easy to follow & to the point! ps...you look exactly like my cousin...seriously his doppelganger!
Lol almost just had a break down, I was vacuuming for like 10 minutes. And I didn't know how to fix it ! Thanks man!
Thank you awesome video!! We went around the house found all that were labeled GFCI and reset and now our other connected outlets work.
Thanks. My power went off in the bedroom and was able to fix it right away after watching this video.
Thank you. You saved me a call to the electrician. All the breakers were fine, but my reset button on the outlet wouldn't stay in. I checked all the outlets inside in the kitchen and bathrooms and all were fine, except the one. But you mentioned the outside outlets. Well, it was raining and, sure enough, I had an extension cord plugged in outside from doing yard work. And when I unplugged that cord, the inside outlet was able to reset. So thank you. I wouldn't have thought to try the outside outlet if you hadn't mentioned it.
Thanks, just saved me a ton of time and it was simply a GFI tripped in another area of the house effecting plugs in the garage.
Thank you. I came home last night and oddly my kitchen and living room light would not cone on. Same with stove and AC in same area. Worried since Irma passed through. This helped and all is well :)
Thanks! This video helped me fix an electrical issue I was having during Christmas weekend, I never would've gotten an electrician out here in time!
I could kiss you right now loll. You're a lifesaver. I pushed the reset button soo many times and would not work and half of my kitchen is with no power including my fridge lol. I just went to the panel and did as you said, turned it off all the way and turned it back on and boom ta ta. Thank you❤❤
This was perfect thank you! My microwave just randomly stopped and it turned out it was the outlet, working perfect now!
This is just not something I do a lot...but a storm rolled through tonight and I was thinking aw man, an electrician tomorrow...but I did what you said about the arc breaker in the breaker box...unplugging appliances before pressing the test buttons and bingo...lights! Thank YOU !!
Thanks I got my light back just to follow your instructions that is really helpful thanx again
Your the only person who fixed my problem!!!! Your my hero thank you so much god bless you!!!
So I was home alone and had to figure out what was wrong with my kitchen out let’s. What’s a girl to do...go on utube and thanks to this video I was able to solve the issues. I was simply not completely flipping the circuit all the way off then back on. It was in the middle! Thank you so much.
Awesome. An outlet in one bathroom needed resetting for an outlet in an opposite bathroom. Would have never discovered this. Thanks.
At 1:05 you gave me tip I needed. My bathroom outlets don't have the reset button. Reset other GFCI on the same circuit. Problem solved ! Thanks !!
Thank you! Great video! Your explanation regarding the arc light and testing was exactly what I needed when my electric fireplace turned off and tripped the breaker switch . When I went to my breaker panel, I didn’t know why the arc light turned on when I switched the switch to on, so I switched it back to off thinking it was an alert of a faulty switch.
My 15amp switch is on the right side of my breaker panel, so was a bit confused when my off position was to the right and yours was to the left, but figured it out that was fine..
Thank you very clear and to the point and when to call an electrician
We are glad that you found this video helpful!
+Skobel Homes My outlets don't have reset button. they turn on with the on off switch buttons. next to the switches that turn on the ceiling fans and lights. what should I do?
V Blondin-Smith same here I just saved myself a bill lol- absolutely no lights were in the bedrooms
Omg....thanks ....u are a lifesaver....i went the whole day trying to figure out how to fix it🙌🏾🙏🏾😇
3years ago u posted this and here i am 2021 thanks for the video!!!👍👍👍
Thank you! my water pump outlet stopped working and my plants were dying, this worked!
For your next video, feel free to define GFI and to zoom in on what button is being pushed. There is some good information being shared, but seeing what's being done close up would be more useful than from many feet away. Thank you.
Thank you. I had trouble finding the right one to trip back. I was turning the light on .. a small one on the side table.. It must be loose. I will go first and check this plug.. it was such a surprise.. but being by the bed, the bedding might have tugged it loose.. Thank you so much.
You my friend just saved a mama from having to call out and electrician. Tripped the breaker for 15 mins. Went in my kitchen found the plus and bomb power.
