Outlet not working in Kitchen or Bathroom or Garage or Outdoors?

∙ 15y ago
The outlet is likely a GFCI protected outlet, or a GFCI outlet itself. Does it have test and reset buttons on it? If not, look around the kitchen, bathrooms, garage, and outdoors to find a GFCI receptacle that feeds this one, and attempt to reset the device by pushing the reset button. If your home is relatively old, you may not have GFCI's, then troubleshoot as below. But the mere mention of an outlet not working in the kitchen makes me think GFCI... Qualifications: Commercial/Residential service electrician. Just about every time there's a problem in one of these areas the culprit is a GFCI the homeowner didn't know about... If you do not understand the work well enough to accomplish it yourself properly and safely, don't try it. Consult a professional electrician, as they are proficient enough to do it properly and safely. When working on electrical circuits and equipment, make sure to de-energize the circuit you will be working on. Then test the circuit with a definitive means to make sure it is off (multimeter with metal tipped leads, voltage tester with metal tipped leads, etc., not a non-contact tester, which is non-definitive.)
A faulty receptacle or a disconnected wire in the path. it means that the outlet being affected is probably the last outlet in a series of outlets wired together... so the problem is in either the affected outlet or the one before it.. this happens alot to outlets wired from the back instead of having the wires wrapped around the screws.. so you have a loose common or hot wire at one of these outlets.. a quick way to find the problem is with a small tester known as an outlet tested it plugs into an outlet and has three lights which can tell you what and which outlet has the problem .. any hardware store for $5.00...the only other way is to turn the breaker off that is for your kitchen outlets, pull the recpt out check for a loose wire there or the one in front of that one

You have 1 outlet in the garage - 1 in your bathroom and 1 exterior outlet that all stopped working - you have checked your breakers and they seem to be ok What should you do?
Your outside outlets should be connected to GFCI devices. If they are receptacles the downstream side of the receptacles is also protected. It sounds like one of these receptacles has tripped. Try resetting the bathroom one first and then check to see if the power came back on. Then try resetting the outside receptacle if it is a GFCI. The outlet in the garage is probably fed either off of the bathroom circuit or the outside receptacle.
