    Electrical outlets won't work
    I was using the electric lawn mower and ran over the cord. I bought a new cord and the lawn mower wouldn't work as well as the hair dryer in one bathroom and the electric cat litter box in the 2nd bathroom. I tried resetting the circuit breakers but these things still did not come on. Is there a special reset button somewhere?

I have two outlets in my bathroom that supports a washer and dryer. One out is a reset outlet and the other is a normal standard outlet. I replaced both and only the reset outlet is working. How come the standed outlet has no power? The white and black wires are connected correctly.
