All the outlets in my house work fine. The two wall outlets in my garage do not work as well as the out for the backyard. Had a freezer hooked up to the garage outlet and small gardening tools plugged into the backyard outlet, other than that no great power users. Any suggestions?

Check circuit breakers to see if one is tripped. Some breakers do not go to an off position. Push each breaker toward the on position, if there is movement, may be tripped. Push to off position and reset.

Pull outlet closest to breaker panel and check if u have power. Check wires going to outlet to see if they are secure. Wires should be under screws, not in the push in speedy snaps. The snaps have tendency to break wire without being noticed.

If this does not solve problem let us know and we can expand search.
