What Causes Dead Outlets?
An outlet can stop working because of a variety of issues. However, every dead outlet is frustrating for the same reason: they constantly force you to work around them to find power for your devices and appliances.
Bad Wiring
When wiring ages, it can come loose or split, causing a lack of adequate electrical current to an outlet. Loose wiring is dangerous because it can heat up and cause an electrical fire. So, having a dead outlet is inspected by an electrician is important to determine if your wiring is bad.
A Tripped Circuit Breaker
When a device, appliance, or multiple items draw too much power from an outlet, a circuit breaker might trip. This can be remedied by checking your electrical panel for tripped breakers and resetting them. To stop this problem from happening again, try using fewer devices or appliances with the same outlet. However, if the circuit breaker continues to trip under normal use, it’s time to call Mister Sparky® for help.
A Tripped Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
A tripped ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) is a safety device featured on the outlets of many rooms or areas which are close to water. Sometimes, a GFCI only needs to be reset for an outlet to continue working again. However, a frequently tripping GFCI needs to be inspected by an electrician.
