    Electrical outlet not working
    I have two electrical outlets outside, they did work at some point, now they are not working. We have changed the outlet, and the circuit breaker and they are still not working. I checked the GIF outlets in the house also. All the outlets in the house are working. Any ideas?
    Thank you,

    Outside outlets should be covered by a GFCI breaker in the panel or one individual GFCI receptacle at the start of the branch. Do you know which you have? Test for power at the panel after the breaker, if good move to the first outside outlet in this branch. If it has a GFCI recpetacle it can kill the power downstream. Back to you
