Bad Electrical Circuit

RE: Bad Electrical Circuit Post by Rob Roy (1) | (12/22/2004) Contact Do you have a GFCI Receptical Analyzer? If not, get one at Lowes or Home Depot. Should be less than $10.00.If one of the wires is unhocked (open), it will tell you which one and the problem. Work backwards to a good receptacle. Could be something like a loose wire at a twist nut.

It turned out that mice were the problem inside, and bees were the problem outside. RE: Bad Electrical Circuit Post By jeanie (Guest Post) (11/15/2004) THis recently happened to me, also. The plug was a GFCI and resetting it did not work......so I purchased a new one, had it installed and all is well.

Otherwise get an electrician - there's no second chance if you make a mistake - electricity can kill. As your condo is new is there any way you can find out who the original contractor was - you may have some redress.

Another possibility if you have another working outlet (not refrig.) in the kitchen, is that a wire going downstream from it has come loose. You may want to check that first before crawling into attic. If you have no electrical experience, its best to find someone experienced to do it. Unless it turns out to be a nail through the wire behind a wall, it should take less then half an hour to fix.
