An outlet just blew out on me at random. There was no thunderstorm, and the circuit breaker didn't get affected. What is a reasonable ball park charge/interval for such a repair? Thank you very much.
IF that receptacle is protected with a GFCI, press the reset button once you find it. On many of them, one GFCI can protect multiple devices, so there could be a problem in any device protected by it, you may have to search for the GFCI.
I wonder if it happened from result of pulling a metal tab with a lamp to make it work again. I can't remember how it all went down. All I remember is a close family remember gave me this "idea" and didn't tell me about any pre-cautions. That person might now tell me that they did, but they are definitely not an electrician. ugh
This is awkward, but...
