Plug in bathroom not working.

A gfci that pops will also cause all outlets further down the line on the same circuit to stop working. In fact it may be outside and may have tripped because someone left an extension cord plugged into it during wet weather. These have a test and reset button on them. All bathroom outlets in the house don t have power in them.

If it pops back to the tripped position there s a problem in the wiring or in something that s plugged into the circuit. Other devices or outlets that are tied in with these gfci s look similar to the other plugs in your home. Pushing the knob and the lift rod down causes the pivot rod to push the stopper up. On a bathroom sink it s often necessary to remove the retaining nut and extract the pivot rod first.

Tripped circuit breakers aren t always apparent. If other outlets are dead the problem could be at the breaker panel which we ll inspect next. Check that all of the wires are properly connected to the outlet and that all pigtailed wires are firmly connected underwire nuts. Some circuits are protected by a gfci ground fault circuit interrupter and you may have noticed this outlet in the kitchen bathroom outdoors or even in the garage.

If you want to remove the assembly you may be able to pull it right out. They will generally not cause an outlet to stop working. Pulling the knob causes the pivot rod to pull the stopper down. If you don t see a tripped breaker firmly press every breaker to the off position.

Then reset the designated and hopefully labeled kitchen breaker in the breaker box by turning it off and then on again. It may not even be close to the plug you want to use. Other outlets are ok just the ones in the bathrooms don t work. The first thing to do is to unplug everything that is plugged into all the outlets that do not have power.

Check your home s breaker. Plug your charger into other outlets in the room to see if they re working. However there is still light in the bathrooms.
