is there one of those lil buttons you press to reset them on the outlet themselves? i know alot of bathrooms seem to have those now.

if they all randomly went out at the same time, you may have a water leak that shorted them. Look around for reset buttons and stuff. :)

yeha. you probably tripped the ground circuit protector, if you have those buttons on the outlet, just press the reset one. if that doesnt work, then you definitely tripped a breaker, there has to be one for them, it'd be against code for there not to be a breaker for them.

5thgen i dont think resetting the ones in the bathroom are gonna help, especially if they werent just the only ones affected. he said that the bathroom/random others were affected as well. scopa, were the other outlets that were affected in the same general area ?

good observation .. some developers use shortcuts to save money and wire a bunch of circuits together .. on a single circuit breaker...... but then it could be a simple GFCI..too.....if all else fails call Mr sparky :rolleyes:

i didnt see that there were other outlets not working, gotta wake up. lol.


if thats the case, and no breaker was tripped, you've got a major problem.

Since you're an intelligent guy, I'll assume you did fiddle with the buttons.

Stick a wet FORK in it, that should help!

Hahaha reset the upstairs breakers man, all of them.

alex look for outlets w/ (red) reset buttons.. i know hair dyers and other shit commonly kick those things. if that doesnt work i would do breaker. if that isn't it. turn off the main breaker and take the socket out make sure everything is connected properly.

i'm not an electrician but i've replaced all the sockets in my house, it isnt' that hard i'm sure its something simple.
