  • 3 outlets not working

    I have 3 outlets (I believe they are on the same circuit) that have stopped working. I checked the circuit breaker and it is not thrown. There is no gfi plugs involved. Anyone have any suggestions on what or how to check. I need to get these fixed. Thanks

    Wishama; WELCOME to the forum; First, try throwing the breaker on and off a couple of times. Then check the terminals on these outlets for tightness. Also check to see if some connections are loose because of being "backstabbed" into the rear of the receptacle, rather than onto screw terminals. If you have a tester (lamp) check for power at the first receptacle, and so on. Loose connections elsewhere at any wiring junction boxes, etc,serving these receptacles can also be the culprit. Let us know how you make out, Hube
