∙ 8y agoDid you reset the GFCI? Any outlet attached to the GFCI's load (output) will not work if the GFCI has no power/is inoperable.
The water heater could have a neutral-to-ground short, a type of fault which would be not have shown up on a circuit having no GFCI. That would be a good reason to scrap the water heater if it cannot be fixed! Anyway the best advice is to call in an electrician to run a separate circuit for your water heater.
Take the water heater off of that circuit! Nothing else should be on that circuit, and call a electrician to run a separate circuit for your water heater!!! 1500watts divided by 120 volts is 12.5 amps.
Always be sure to switch off the breakers at the main panel before you attempt to do any work on any mains power circuit.

∙ 8y agoIf the GFCI outlet tripped due to the heater, it's likely a temporary overload issue and resetting the GFCI should restore power to the other outlets. If the outlets remain dead after resetting the GFCI, it's possible that there is a wiring issue that may need to be addressed by a qualified electrician.
To rewire an outlet to work independently from a light switch, you will need to disconnect the wiring that connects the outlet to the switch. This involves identifying the correct wires and rerouting them so that the outlet receives power directly from the main circuit. It is recommended to consult a licensed electrician for this task to ensure safety and compliance with building codes.
This could be caused by loose connections or a faulty outlet within the circuit. The inconsistency in the circuit disconnecting and reconnecting may indicate a faulty wire or outlet that is intermittently losing connection. It is recommended to have an electrician inspect and troubleshoot the circuit to identify and resolve the issue.
No, most dryers require a specific outlet with higher voltage such as a 240-volt outlet to function properly. Using a regular wall socket plug with a dryer can lead to safety hazards and damage to the appliance.
Yes, you can convert a 3-prong 240V outlet to a NEMA twist lock 20A style outlet, although you may need to rewire the circuit. The twist lock outlet typically requires an extra ground wire in addition to the hot and neutral wires. It is important to follow electrical codes and guidelines when making any changes to electrical outlets for safety reasons.
To rewire a 220V water heater to 110V, you would need to change the heating element to one that is compatible with 110V. You would also need to adjust the wiring connections in the water heater to accommodate the lower voltage. It is recommended to consult a qualified electrician to ensure proper and safe rewiring of the water heater.

A typical duplex outlet has metal tabs on the sides that connect the twooutlets and a pair ofwiring terminals (hot and neutral)for each outlet. If you break off these tabs, you can power the two outlets individually. The circuit for the one you want switchedgoes through the switch to the terminals for that outlet. Run the hot wire to switch, the hot wire from switch to hot terminal of outlet you want switched, and neutral wire to neutral terminal of outlet you want switched. Run hot and neutral wires to the appropriate terminalsfor the other outlet.As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.Before you do any work yourself,on electrical circuits, equipment or appliancesalways use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.

Repairing it would depend on how it was damaged. A person could simply tape up some torn pieces if its an easy fix, or rewire it with extra wire for a major fix.Ê

Yes, if you rewire the bed and rewire the plug on the wall to 220 volts.
