No Power After Replacing Receptacle on GFCI Circuit
I have 4 receptacle outlets on one circuit; someone shorted the circuit when they touched the side of one of the receptacles; the breaker would not reset so I wired in a new receptacle. Now the breaker resets, but I still have no power.

Electrical Outlets Stopped Working
For no apparent reason, half of the outlets in my basement no longer power my devices, i.e. TV, Blue ray, surround sound, window fans. Everything worked fine for the last 10 years and through last night.

Replacing a 15/20 Breaker
Can you replace a 15/20 breaker with a 20/20 breaker, or replace it with a 15/15 breaker. I have tried to find a 15/20 breaker but can't find them anywhere.

Trailer is Having Power Problems
My husband bought a trailer in Feb. 08 and there was an outlet in the living room on one wall only that didn't work, the rest did. The living room light didn't work. He didn't worry about it for months then one day the light worked and so did the outlet.
