Certain appliances--refrigerator, microwave, washer, dryer, air conditioner--no longer work, while light bulbs, computer, and fan still work.
I had an electrician here recently because at one point nothing worked at all. It all started when the microwave (while being used) started wavering a bit, as though it was about to turn off. It then did. [It gave me the impression that it wasn't getting enough power.]
The electrician fixed things (he replaced a box-like thing at street-level; it was called something like a "converter" but that's not exactly right) but then the "bigger" appliances started to not work. By the way It was a neighbor of mine who offered the electrician the solution (the box that needed replacing), since apparently it's been a particular problem of the whole building.
