Lights won’t work?
It may sound obvious, but make sure the
light switch is in the ON position, especially
if the light is controlled by more than one
switch or plugged into a receptacle that’s
controlled by a light switch. A burned out
bulb is another obvious, but often
overlooked, culprit.
If the switch is on, and the bulb is good, you
may have a tripped circuit breaker. Go to
your load center and look for a breaker that’s
in the tripped or OFF position via the orange
Visi-Trip indicator. Always make sure no one is working on the electrical
system, then rmly move the tripped handle to the OFF position and
then back to the ON position.
Lights flickering?
Start up of certain appliances, such as air conditioners and shop tools,
may cause a slight icker or blinking of the lights. A brief occasional
icker is normal. However, if permanent dimming occurs, or usage of
a particular appliance repeatedly causes a circuit breaker to trip, that
may be a warning signal that your electrical system is overloaded or
something else is wrong.
Receptacles aren’t working?
Check to see if a light switch controls power to the receptacle, and
keep in mind that a different wall switch may control each socket of
the receptacle. Next, go to the load center and check for a tripped
circuit breaker.
If the problem receptacle is located in the kitchen, bathroom, garage
or outside, it may be a GFI or AFI. The GFI may be in the form of either a
GFI wall receptacle (or downstream of a tripped GFI receptacle) or a GFI
circuit breaker in the load center. If it’s a receptacle, you’ll see a reset
button on the face of the receptacle – push that button to reset the unit.
If it’s a tripped GFI circuit breaker, reset by moving the handle to the OFF
position and then back to the ON position.
The AFI is provided only by circuit breaker
protection in your load center. If it’s a tripped
AFI breaker, reset as described above for
the GFI breaker.
