Had a same issue just yesterday. Had 4 outlet boxes not working in our kitchen. Turned out to be a very loose wire on the GCFI outlet. Used my receptacle tester and breaker finder - turned off the correct breaker, found the loose wire and popped it back in. Back in business with a happy wife :)
God bless you my dear sir. ❤❤❤❤❤ A lot of these no hommo. I was at my mobile home hook to heaters because it was cold. And 4 outlets stop working simultaneously and I was afraid of something else, now I a certain is the breaker thanks so much.
Great video. I had the same problem and after replacing the outlets on the circuit, I thought I had the problem solved only to fimd the stove light blinking (intermittant power). The great thing about this video is that it calls out the untripped breaker which is the last item most people think of as the problem.
You should come visit my brother’s place in Florida. He’s not much into maintenance and has bad knees and so there’s alway many things to attend to when I visit. I plan one short project a day and then off to have fun. Here’s a few from my last visit: trouble shoot electric and replace GFCIs, clean moss from pool deck, replace numerous light bulbs, replace toilet inlet valve and flapper, replace faucet aerators, repair grout in guest shower, sand and paint garage door, repair window screens, clean gutters, remove brush, rewire lamp, cut samplings down, repair faucet, rehang bath towel bar, adjust latch on rear doors, remove wasp nests. I’m sure there are more, but I can’t think of them now 😉
@@glasshalffull2930If you get done and you're still bored come on over to my place. I'll buy you beer/soda and dinner. It'll be a blast, lots to do. 😂
I've had instances where the wiring simply wasn't hooked up past a random outlet or switch. One time I found that the ground wires weren't tied together - no reason, they just left them hanging and didn't even attempt to put a wire nut on them. Bonus: all the outlets were upside down in that portion of house.
A big pet peeve of mine is how most electricians do a very inadequate job of labeling breaker panels, or more likely, they don't label them at all. This sure creates problems later. I had a major electrical overhaul with new switches, outlets, and breaker panel. The electrician also installed GFCI's here and there throughout the house, and did not label anything or keep track of which rooms and outlets down the line are affected if the GFCI trips. Some of these are extremely inaccessible. So now, all the lighting does not work in a large office room, presumably because a GFCI somewhere tripped. It is hard to explain why this is so difficult to track down, so now there is no overhead lighting which is really needed. The electrician had installed all the GFCI's because the very old house wiring has no ground wire. Anyway, it is especially annoying when you pay thousands to a licensed electrician, only to spend years and decades later reminded of all the inadequacies and corner cutting that he did, including no labeling of breakers. Strangely, there is still a kitchen outlet that is not controlled by ANY of the breakers in the panel!!!
I’ll tell you the reason why. It’s because it’s residential lol. I’m a commercial electrician and this was hounded on me during my entire apprenticeship was panel scheduling. All of the new housing tracks being built across the United States are done by residential piecework electricians. They get paid by the piece which means they get paid for every house they do so if they rope in a house in a day they get paid for that house. They’re trying to get it done as fast as possible, while still adhering to code. So in essence, the home will pass inspection, But they create headaches for other electricians later down the line.
@@M3thodbombz Thank you for the explanation. Exactly as I had suspected all along. For the typical homeowner there is no good solution because no matter who you call, even if they know you and talk nicely, in the end they will rip you off. Even if they don't realize it or see it that way.
I replace an old panel with a new, larger one. Did everything myself and labeled it accordingly. Had it inspected and all good. I’m not an electrician, but pay attention to the details required to do the job correctly. Most electrician you hire will do an outstanding job, but maybe not the original ones installing the job in the first place due to time restraints.
Exterior electric panel/breakers, never seen that b4. Tho neighbor just had whole house fail…. turned-out a single/main breaker just below outside meter lost contact (similar as yours, did NOT trip). Small box was pad locked and never opened nor failed in 35+ years.
Great video. You made it look easy. The continuity test proved it to be a bad breaker. Wondering if a main line is not working through a home if testing the breakers for proper voltage first is the best way to go...?
Tim from Canada sometimes when you find a light switch that does not work meaning it may work somewhere else sometimes people have a light pole outside on their front lawn and in the basement if you find a light switch 95% of the time that switch will work your outside light pole I live in an old house in a small village, and this is what was in the basement in the crawlspace the light switch work outside light pole so don’t be so mad. When you find some thing that does not work it may work somewhere else.
I remember many decades ago learning how to track down a bad outlet in a house. The person instructing me told me it all depends on which way the electrician wanted to go that day. Pretty accurate and frustrating.
We had a Home Inspection done on our new home. The outside outlets (two) are not working and one of them is missing a Cover. the Home Inspector marked is as Poor. This video gives me an idea. Thank you Angel from The Bay
I'm having the same exact issue. My 3 outside outlets arent working. I tried resetting them and everything. I'm confused though because the main outlet has a green light thats in so it's getting power to it but nothing's coming out smh

Congrats on the new place, hope all is goin well - I wanted to say the outro is a good touch as gives time for me to remember to hit that like button on the bottom
I was surprised it was 20 amp breaker and not a 15 amp. Wire in the breaker box looked like 14//2 to me. Maybe this accounts for the heat damage on the busbar.
First thought was maybe bad wire connection in the breaker box... glad it was simple! And now if anything else happens you know where to start... if one went bad, wonder how many are close. Is the power coming through clean?
@@ApartmentMaintenancePro I just mean, is it steady hz and voltage coming into the main box and then throughout the house. Do you think the breakers are all the same age? Just curious why you think only 1 went bad.
One time I was super spun out and I thought hmmm someone wired all the ground wires wrong! So I switched all the white wires to the breaker and the blacks to the ground. That was a long time ago😮 Drugs and electricity do not mix
Great video. I am in the same situation. There are three outlets in my kitchen that are not working. Like yours, the breaker did not tripped. I checked the GFCI out and resetted but still no power. Disposal, lights, oven and everything else are working. If its the breaker, shouldn't it be the whole kitchen rather than just only three outlets?
same here, but I have 3 light switches not working. all breakers show proper voltage, replaced the 2 oldest light switches and still nothing...not sure what else to check....
The entire kitchen is not on one breaker. Lighting and kitchen outlets never share a circuit. Disposals are usually on their own circuit, as are ovens and dishwashers. There's usually 2 kitchen receptacle circuits, one of yours may have a bad breaker or a bad GFCI or just a bad connection somewhere.
You worded that wrong. Its 15amp receptacles on a 20amp breaker, which there is nothing wrong with and is completely safe and code compliant as long as there more than one receptacle on the branch circuit which there clearly is in the video. (A single duplex outlet with 2 receptacles counts as 2 btw). The breaker provides over current protection for the branch circuit wiring, its not specifically designed to protect any specific receptacle, switch or load even thought by proxy it can since if you overload the circuit wiring and the breaker trips in turn now your receptacle and device will no longer have power. This is a common misconception on the actual purpose of a ocp breaker. Additionally 15amp receptacles are all required to be rated to 20amp pass through, that way you can install multiple 15amp receptacles in series and then the last one could be a 20amp receptacle and fully support that load. Your receptacles and switches themselves are protected firstly by a ground bonding so in the event of a short the current is is removed from the load to ground. If you want to protect the components of the receptacle itself then the device you plug in needs protection, this is often achieved by overcurrent protection circuitry in the electrical device or simply a fuse in the device power cord or input power supply.
An external breaker panel? I've always seen them tucked away in the garage, basement, or a closet so they aren't exposed to the weather. Anyway, judging by the apparent age of the breakers, replacing ALL of them would be a good idea. Once one is dead the rest of them are likely on their last legs as well and it really wouldn't cost that much in the greater scheme of things.
The secret is to take the old "suspect" breaker with you to Home Depot when you go looking for a replacement. Then buy two and keep one for a spare. Every few years flip the breaker 3 or 4 times to keep them happy.
I have this same except problem in bathroom with GFCI breaker and outlet. Changed both the breaker and outlet and still no power. Thougts on how to troubleshoot further?
Yes that is what he meant. The main breaker at the very top of the box in this case. It looks like he opted to do it without turning it off but advised others to do as I say not as I do :)
Man electrical is quite complicated.... could that b the same for a house that daily looses partial power? Itll go out in most of the house without tripping breakers and then turns back on when it wants...
What if you check your breaker and your breaker still the correct voltage In some of the outlets that are connected to that line are working, but the rest are not
This is just what's happening to my breaker, it tripped several times and now on the on position there is no power. It's an expensive one because it's an old style Square D QO single pole, tandem 20 amp.
That breaker panel should be moved to the inside of the house. Too much moisture and condensation outside leads to corrosion to the internal mechanism of the breakers causing outages.
Well now I wonder if I should buy a multimeter or call an electrician for my multiple outlets not working. After this video I think I can figure it out.
I live in a Double wide trailer lights get very bright then very dim plugs work for a minute then don't everything goes off then comes back on constantly don't know what is wrong help please
I changed my receptacles in my 2 rooms because they were old. Then all of sudden all of my other rooms lights not working and it said my Ground and Hotwire are reversed (which is non sense as I made sure it was right) My breaker is not tripped or anything. What could be problem and solution for this?
My stupid kitchen in an old trailer has 2 plugs on the same circuit, so once and awhile if 2 things are on it goes off... But u can go and flick tht breaker on and off till the cows come home and nothing.! BuT, the plug will sometimes start working again just out of the blue, could be a day, could be a month.? Odd... So i figured the breaker was bad and bought a new 1..., but it would not work either, so i tried it on the next fin over & Vola it Worked... -3 wk's later i had 2 things on again and Poof, out both plugs go again... Go bk in and look at breaker & it's sTill on.? Moved it over to tried another fin again and nothing... Ive also changed that recepticle b4 also, thinkin it was tht...... Strange to me... ive got 1 dam plug that works now in the kitchen area, but thats by the door tho...
this is exactly the same problem I am having, several outlets not working. Breakers not tripped. This video was super helpful

An external breaker panel? I've always seen them tucked away in the garage, basement, or a closet so they aren't exposed to the weather.
Anyway, judging by the apparent age of the breakers, replacing ALL of them would be a good idea. Once one is dead the rest of them are likely on their last legs as well and it really wouldn't cost that much in the greater scheme of things.

There are torque specs for the load wire on circuit breakers,right?
Bought a home recently. Half the outlets didn’t work in front of house on top of outlet. Was on a switch.
The secret is to take the old "suspect" breaker with you to Home Depot when you go looking for a replacement. Then buy two and keep one for a spare. Every few years flip the breaker 3 or 4 times to keep them happy.

Did you not notice the heat on that buss? I think you need a new panel very soon buddy.
I noticed that too at 6:09.
@apartment maintenance pro is it possible that a loose wall outlet wires were not screw in tight and it affected the entire circuit?
Yes....these are all 'backstabbed' but haven't gotten around to checking all of them yet :)
Nice!! Good Camera work
Thank you JT Myers!
Well done. I learned something.

looks to me like you tested the faulty breaker with your 117 on the diode setting and then used the continuity setting for the new one.
Where are you that the breaker panel is outside and totally accessible??
Congrats..great video 💯💯💪💪
Appreciate it!! 🍻
Do they not have insulated tools in the US?!
Nice video. To the point.👍
Is that old breaker a square d breaker and is that a square d panel 🤔
Open material ?
When you say that you have the power off when you were installing the new breaker. What did you mean by that? The main power to the whole breaker box?
I was going to ask him that as well was it main breaker box or the breaker itself?
Yes that is what he meant. The main breaker at the very top of the box in this case. It looks like he opted to do it without turning it off but advised others to do as I say not as I do :)
This / 👍
Breaker panel is outside? Is that up to code in your state ?
It's pretty normal in homes especially in Colorado 👍
dave!!!! Your are the man!
Is it common to have the breaker located outside of the house? That seems like a security risk.
Great job
I have one receptacle not working, on same wall with others that do work, all on same circuit. Can't figure why? Help!
Man electrical is quite complicated.... could that b the same for a house that daily looses partial power? Itll go out in most of the house without tripping breakers and then turns back on when it wants...
Possibly
I noticed you put a 20 amp breaker in the box and I believe your outlets were 15 amp. Is that a problem?
It is but I would check out 210.21 in the NEC for more info, assuming your wiring in the US
Nice job!

But u can go and flick tht breaker on and off till the cows come home and nothing.! BuT, the plug will sometimes start working again just out of the blue, could be a day, could be a month.? Odd... So i figured the breaker was bad and bought a new 1..., but it would not work either, so i tried it on the next fin over & Vola it Worked... -3 wk's later i had 2 things on again and Poof, out both plugs go again... Go bk in and look at breaker & it's sTill on.? Moved it over to tried another fin again and nothing... Ive also changed that recepticle b4 also, thinkin it was tht...... Strange to me... ive got 1 dam plug that works now in the kitchen area, but thats by the door tho...
