Troubleshooting a Dead Outlet

I have a whole website dedicated to things like this, but Jeff's treatment of dead outlets is as good as mine, plus he gives more photos! I've been looking at similar articles on the web for five years, and this is the best I've seen. He knows what he's talking about, unlike many others.

I replaced my breaker but didn't fix the breaker from "breaking". I read this article and found a ground wire that had bent over and was touching a power wire. I moved the ground wire and reset the breaker. All is well now. Thanks for the advice!!!

I thank you so much!! I think this is the most thorough and well written articles on electrical problems I have ever read. It is written in layman's terms so I had no need for a dictionary beside me. You covered every aspect of outlet problems. (I think) Thank you again.

Thank you so much! This advice saved us an expensive service call from an electrician! ~Jill
