Have you ever been in the kitchen making toast when somebody turns a hairdryer on in the bathroom and pop, the breakers blown?
'm Amy Matthews with HomeAdvisor, and today we are going to show you how to reset those breakers.
The first thing you want to check is whether you have a GFCI outlet. These are located in bathrooms, kitchens, by pools or patios
wherever water is located. If the circuit's been tripped, just hit the reset button, and you're back in business.
If your GFCI plug doesn't need a reset, head to your circuit breaker box.
Open the box and look for a circuit in the "off" position.
Then, make sure the circuit is all the way off and flip it back on, to reset your circuit.
It becomes a problem if you still can't get the power back on --
so for home repair emergencies like these, download the HomeAdvisor Home911 app.
