An outlet stopped working

Often a safety outlet (GFCI) tripped. One GFCI can power several other outlets.

Time: 5 min You'll need: Nothing

Safety first: turn the power off before touching your A/C. Never open the electrical panel cover or the inside of the outdoor unit. If you smell burning, see sparks, or a breaker keeps tripping, turn it off and call us.

Steps

  1. Look for outlets with TEST and RESET buttons in the kitchen, bathrooms, garage and outside.
  2. Press RESET firmly until it clicks. Check the outlet that stopped working.
  3. Still off? Check the breaker panel for a tripped breaker and reset it once.

Test your GFCIs once a month: press TEST (power cuts off), then RESET.

Call us if: It won't reset, it trips again, the outlet feels warm, buzzes or smells like burning. (305) 842-0295
