Electricity Went Out On One Wall

This resulted in a small spark and instantly all the power in my room went out.

Electricity went out on one wall.

Well gary that s what happens when you decide to clean the house. You must determine which outlet is the first in the row to not be working. My tv lights ceiling fan aquarium. One circuit can go out without affecting others.

I had my computer plugged into the wall it was sitting on my desk. We ve all experienced power outages. Outlets lost power electrical question why is it that the outlets on one side of the wall have lost power while the other still has power. When one went out they all went out.

Living rooms and similar large rooms and kitchens commonly have two outlet circuits on the assumption that a lot of electrical demand may occur simultaneously in that room bedrooms commonly only. The rest of the house seems normal its just this wall that has gone out. Thanks for your electrical repair question dwayne. I checked a power strip inside and looked at the breakers and i have not found a tripped breaker.

The rest of the house does have electricity. Basically i lost electricity in one room. In all seriousness you did not have too many things on at one time otherwise you would have tripped the circuit breaker. Electricity is off but circuit breaker isn t tripped when the lights go out in one or more rooms or in a series of electrical outlets the culprit is sometimes a circuit breaker or a fuse has blown.

Your outlets may also be wired this way. Maybe during a storm or maybe that time you had eighteen cords running off that one socket oops or maybe totally randomly and for seemingly no reason at all. First time on site but not the last. If you ve noticed a switch on the wall that didn t seem to go to anything it could very well control a half hot outlet flip this switch and then try the outlet again.

However in some cases the breaker or fuse may seem fine and even if you reset the circuit breaker the circuit is still dead. 1 that room has two or more circuits for outlets lights and one has a broken wire or the breaker tripped out on one circuit that dead one. This wall stretches from the kitchen to the living room. In simple terms the outlets that are not working may be daisy chained.

Your house s electrical system uses several parallel circuits to distribute electricity separately to various parts of the house. Think of it like the old christmas lights. It fell over and landed on the floor and the cord ripped from the wall. If part of your house loses electricity you may not have a serious electrical problem.

Tonight i stepped inside the front door of my house and flipped the light switch for the front porch lights and they failed come on and the front wall which supplies power to an interior room lost power. This could be causing the other outlets to also have no power. Thanks for your electrical troubleshooting question gary.
