Greenlee Electrician
My wall outlet isn't working - what's the problem?
I have a normal grounded (3 prong) outlet that doesn't work. About 6 months ago I was trying to reposition it in the wall, shocked the heck out of myself (I realize I should turn the power off first), and then forgot about it. 3 months later, I noticed it wasn't working and attributed it to that incident.
I have tried the following:
1. I tested it with a non-contact voltage detector (http://www.amazon.com/Greenlee-Non-Contact-Voltage-Detector-1000VAC/dp/B000ODU4YK/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top) and it said there was power.
2. I thought the outlet had gone bad, so I bought a new one and attached it. No go.
3. I found a normal voltage detector, with the prongs and all, and tested it. No power according to that. Not even on the wires themselves.
So now I am wondering, is the non-contact voltage detector giving false positives or could there be another problem in the wires? Do I have to suck it up and call an electrician?
You should always test ANY voltage detector on a wall socket that you know is working before using it on one that you're not sure of.
But really, if you're not sure what your doing, call a professional.
For your own safety.
I mean, you already shocked yourself..
That should tell you something right?
If it was plumbing, you'd just get wet, but electricity can really hurt or even kill you.
Please be safe and call..
