Electricity Went Out On One Wall

First time on site but not the last.

Electricity went out on one wall.

The reason why most wall sockets and wall outlets are not working. And the whole house is dark and all the appliances go quiet and it s quite clear that something s gone wrong in a very centralized way. This resulted in a small spark and instantly all the power in my room 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.

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. If part of your house loses electricity you may not have a serious electrical problem. I had my computer plugged into the wall it was sitting on my desk.

In all seriousness you did not have too many things on at one time otherwise you would have tripped the circuit breaker. This wall stretches from the kitchen to the living room. My tv lights ceiling fan aquarium. 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.

When one went out they all went out. 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. Thanks for your electrical troubleshooting question gary. 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.

The rest of the house does have electricity. Basically i lost electricity in one room. Your outlets may also be wired this way. You must determine which outlet is the first in the row to not be working.

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. One circuit can go out without affecting others. 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.

It fell over and landed on the floor and the cord ripped from the wall. We ve all experienced power outages. Well gary that s what happens when you decide to clean the house. The rest of the house seems normal its just this wall that has gone out.

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. In simple terms the outlets that are not working may be daisy chained. One circuit can go out without affecting others.
