A month ago I added 5 outlets and/or lights with swtiches to my existing wiring by tying into receptacles and adding on that way. All has worked fine and the max # of outlets on any one circuit is 5. Most are two or three.
Everything has been working fine. Now I am getting dimming lights all over the house. Followed by shut down of one circuit where the lights are dimming (and three other circuits). They are always the same three circuits. One in the kitchen, One in the bedroom and one in the bathroom. The stove/refrigerator never seem to be affected. I can tell because the the clocks are all blinking etc. The weird thing is no circuit breakers trip. Resetting each individual circuit breaker does nothing. I have to reset the main breaker.
Just this morning the furnace came on and two minutes later it shut off. That circuit as well as the three other circuits were dead. Had to reset the main breaker again.
A cannot make sense out of this and need help figuring out what's going on. Is it possible that the new outlets has nothing to do with it and the problem is the service itself? A new one was put in 30 years ago and have never had any kind of issue,
I am going to disconnect all the new outlets that I have added to see if that does anything.
I NEED HELP !!! THANKS |
