Bathroom outlets suddenly not working?

Question

The outlets in my master bath and a half bath are suddenly not working. There are no GFCI re-set buttons on either of them. The only outlet with a GFCI is in the kitchen, and it is on and working fine. I have checked the breakers and flipped them all off and back on and still nothing. All other outlets are working. What should I do to remedy my problem?

Answer 1

U gonna need a electrical tester on this 1.  Make sure u RE-SET the breakers right.  because I said that alot of people not sure how to reset it.  U have to- turn the switch all the way on off til u hear a SNAP.  Then u turn it on.  If the plugs still not working.  U need to test if the breaker is letting electricity ON the power side of breaker.  If it does not...u need to replace that breaker.

Answer 2

You may have a bad outlet. The other outlets are probably fed from the bad one . Check the one you use a hair dryer on first they tend to burn outlets up. If you use a hair dyer that is.

Answer 3

No other GFCI's in the house?  It seems strange that the the kitchen would be wired with one but not the bathrooms.  Check and make sure you don't have a GFCI circuit breaker in the panel. If not, call an electrician or if you feel comfortable doing it, start at the circuit breaker with a volt meter and work your way down the circuit until you find the open.  It could be the circuit breaker itself.  They do fail occasionally.

You may have a gfci breaker in your panelbox.If you do it should have a white button on it to reset it.Or you could have a gfci outlet outside somewhere that feeds your bathroom receptacles.If this is a manufactured home like a doublewide they put gfci rec.in weird places,I have one under my house.So you may need to go a easter egg hunt for receptacles.Good luck.

i ran into this a few times before if there are no gfi's in the bathrooms go to your main panel in the garage or basement and search around for a gfi outlet many times it is buried behind something that's against the wall for some reason many builders put the gfi box that controls the bath fixtures near the main panel

You should also look outside for GFCI receptacles.  I have seen in the past where some electricians use an outside GFCI to control bathrooms or kitchens.
