    One electric line out
    Several outlets in our house just stopped working...
    We don't know if anything else is on that line...
    None of the circuit breakers appear to be tripped...
    But I'm wondering if they can just need replacing...
    Or if not
    How do we figure out what's wrong?

    Some breakers do not appear to be in the off position when looking at them.

    Push each breaker toward the on position and if there is movement, then breaker has popped and needs to be reset. U do this by moving to off position then to on.

    Do u have a GFI (ground fault interupter) on the circuit. If so may need to be reset.

    If these don't work, let us know and will continue from there.

    Good luck

    It depends on your level of expertise. Is it just outlets that quit working or lights as well? Your best bet is to follow creahands advice first. And when they stopped working... did something happen? Was something plugged in at that time? Was there a storm or power failure in the area?
