Any electricians out there that can advise me on plugs?
In my kitchen there are 3 walls with plugs.
Wall 1 - all plugs work.
Wall 2 - 1 out of 3 plugs work
Wall 3 - 1 out of 3 plugs work
Why is this? I now have extension leads all over my kitchen and it looks an eye sore. A plug tester says that there is no power in the plugs & yes the fuses have been checked in the fuse junction box.
Any genuine ideas?
Answers:
In many cases the oultets in your house are ran in circuit
ya never know exactly how someone may have it rigged up , but in many cases one of those outlets will burn out and electricity will not make it to the rest , i do not advise someone that dosent know what they are doing fooling with electricity. , but if you decide to try anyway , atleast turn the main off and make sure there's no power first. good luck
I have all kinds if Ideas but I dont want you to get shocked. It could be that the outlets are just bad and need to be replaced, or a wire could be off somewhere. If you are in Sioux Falls, SD I would be happy to check it out and fix it for you free of charge!
They may be hooked up to wall switches

Check the fuses again, with a meter, not just visually. If you don't have a meter, replace the fuses. If they still don't work, then you will need someone skilled to remove the plug covers and check to see if the wires that supply the plugs are live. If those wires are live, then the plug is faulty. If the wires are not live then you have a wiring problem and need an electrician to sort the problem out.
Well, to start with those holes in the wall are called sockets and those that you f' into them are the plugs. Sockets dont usu. get problems unless you see, smell or hear something wrong with them. Get electrician to trace the source of problem for you.If ura in inverness I could help for a free.
You said this is in a kitchen, do you have any GFI receptacles on your countertop, or elsewhere in your kitchen? A GFI is a rectanglular receptacle that has 2 buttons on the face of it. If you do have one or more of these, try pushing the reset button. This happens a lot. If you need more help, ijustdunnoaname@yahoo.com
