    Bathroom Plugs not working
    I have a very weird situation. I'm a new homeowner and I have no idea what to do. All of the plugs in my both of my bathrooms are not working. They are not the type that you can reset. The bathrooms are not next to each other in the house, and all the plugs in between are working fine. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks in advance. :confused:

    For some time now, outlets in bathrooms have been required to have GFCI protection. If not the outlets, the reset could be on a blank fixture, or at the breaker box. If the breakers aren't marked, identifying and marking them could be a good project. Sometimes a breaker can look on, but have to be thrown all the way to off and back to work.

    One important note. As a new home owner, you should expect everything to be working. Talk to the Realtor you bought the house through. An ethical one will go back to their client and explain their obligation to have the outlets workings and the breakers identified. Any building inspector or lawyer you had would be good ones to talk to also. We have a real estate forum here able to give more details on this.

    But do look around more for the resets. You don't want to be the butt of jokes about how you couldn't reset them.
