[MBZ] OT house electrical issue

2019-12-15 Thread Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes
Renters called, outlets in master bath, master bedroom, and kitchen are not working.  These rooms are all located right next to each other.  I am assuming they are probably on the same breaker.  He says they checked the breakers which I take to mean none are tripped.  I am thinking it is

If you have aluminum wiring you must have spring loaded contact points, at least in Indiana. Lot of house fires back in the late 50's when aluminum wire became popular, my father investigated some. The spring contacts prevent loose wires under fluctuating load. Do not over-tighten copper

Probably a bad GFCI outlet, or check to see if the circuit has a GFCI or AFCI breaker, they can go bad too, and the AFCIs are sensitive to the neutral and ground connections. Buy one of those little lighted testers you plug in, they are cheap and will show you what the fault might be. --FT

1.) If the house was built in 2004 it doesn’t have AL wire. 2.) Open and then close the breaker. Sometimes you’ll get a “nuisance trip) that doesn’t display the trip flag in the little window. 3.) If it’s on a circuit with a GFCI, check to see what receptacles are downstream of the GFCI

Windows 7 was acceptable in that everything we used it for was more or less stable (depending on application, some of the custom instrument software was easily broken by updates). Windows 10 bites. Slow, buggy, gets massive updates weekly (so did they actually develop and test it or just send

Open the breaker box and check the wire. If it is aluminum wire, it has done what aluminum wire in houses does after time. The contact at the crimp screw has expanded and contracted with each time electrical load in applied [wire heats up, expands, cools down, contracts.] The wire slowly loses

I figured if there was a tripped or bad GFCI outlet upstream from the others it could knock them out.  Since bathroom and kitchen outlets are involved I figured that could be a possibility. What is this lighted tester you speak of? On 12/15/2019 12:16 PM, Floyd Thursby via Mercedes wrote:

Breakers do go bad sometimes. But first check by pushing the breaker to the full off position and then back on. Many times a tripped breaker will appear to still be on, at least visually. On Sun, Dec 15, 2019, 13:33 Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > I figured if there

I will check that out. House was built in 04 so not sure if it has copper or aluminum. I would also think it is one circuit. Does not seem likely that multiple circuits would develop the same issue at the same time. Sent from my iPhone > On Dec 15, 2019, at 11:35 AM, G Mann via Mercedes >

Maybe this is the lighted tester: https://smile.amazon.com/Elitexion-Outlet-Circuit-Receptacle-Tester/dp/B01D2EDB1U/ It's a crude device but handy because it's small and checks polarity (ground-neutral-hot) in addition to just indicating if power is on. I also like those non-contact voltage
