Outlets in bathrooms
I am having trouble with the outlets in all the 4 bathrooms in my house. There is no power at any of them. I have checked the circuit box to make sure that it hasn't tripped. I am so sure that it is something really simple...but don't know what. Any ideas?
Try resetting your GFCI outlet, if you do not have one or this doesn't work, you'll need to trace your wires to find the problem.
A GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Isolation)is an outlet that has a small red reset button on it. You would normally find it in one of the bathrooms or in the garage - somewhere that water is nearby, or outdoor equipment is used.
A friend had a similar problem, caused by a corroded connector on an outside outlet. If you can't find any problem inside the house, look outside at any outlets and lights.

Shilpa, check your breaker box for a gfi breaker, some houses use breakers for ground fault interruption. I know you already did check the panel but sometimes the breaker switch levers don't throw on the gfi breakers. If you have a gfi breaker it will have a reset button on it.
