Breaker is on but electrical outlets are not or stopped working. open neutral or open hot wiring on electrical plug tester.
This is may not resolve your issue please follow safety standarts or let professionals handle it, if not comfortable.
Steps:
1. Check other outlets and appliances: First, check if other outlets and appliances in the same room or area are working. This can help determine if the problem is isolated to the specific outlet or a larger electrical issue.
2. Inspect the outlet: Carefully examine the non-working outlet for any visible damage, scorch marks, or loose connections. Ensure that no foreign objects are obstructing the outlet slots.
3. Check the circuit breaker or fuse box: Go to the circuit breaker or fuse box and check if the breaker corresponding to the non-working outlet has tripped or the fuse has blown. If so, reset the breaker or replace the fuse. Also, pay attention to any unusual buzzing sounds or burning smells, which could indicate a larger electrical problem.
4. Reset GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlet: If the non-working outlet is a GFCI outlet, it may have tripped due to a ground fault. Look for a "Test" and "Reset" button on the outlet and press the "Reset" button. If it clicks, the outlet should be reset, and power may be restored.
5. Test the outlet: Use a voltage tester or a plug-in electrical device to test the outlet. If there is no voltage or power, the issue might be with the outlet itself or the wiring behind it.
6. Flip the switch: If the outlet is controlled by a light switch, make sure the switch is in the "ON" position.
7. Check nearby GFCI outlets: If the non-working outlet is part of a circuit with other outlets, check nearby GFCI outlets as well. Sometimes, a tripped GFCI in one location can affect other outlets on the same circuit.
8. Consult a professional: If you have followed these steps and the outlet still does not work, or if you are unsure about handling electrical troubleshooting, it's best to contact a local electrician pro's to inspect and repair the issue safely.
