View Full Version : My bathroom and Outdoor electrical outlets not working?

I checked all the reset buttons in the house and the circuit box outside and they are all set but it's weird because not only do all the outside outlets not work, our small bathroom outlet has stopped working despite us pressing all the reset outlets in the house. I do know that it rained quite a bit and we had the house powerwashed for painting in the past few days but the outlets are all covered.
I can't seem to figure this one out. Could someone please send me some feedback, ideas, or possible solutions? I would greatly appreciate it!
Thank you,
Frank

Check your circuit breakers in panel box. Push breaker switch to the on position. If it moves, push to the off position then the on position. Some breakers will not reset if not pushed to the off position first.

Check each outlet to see if wires are secured to the screws. If wires are in the push holes move to the screw. Sometimes the push holes do not make good contact or break the wire.

Check and test all GFI's to make sure they are on.

If there are any wires in outlet boxes that are wire nutted together, check to make sure all wires are secured together.

Let us know how u made out. If this doesn't work will go from there.

Good luck
