Power Off To Half Of What'S Covered By Circuit

Name: Sherrie  City: Jackson

Question: I plugged a printer into an outlet. Did not turn it on. The electricity went out in that room (2 outlets & light) & out in the outlet in the next room on the wall next to the other room & also the light. The outlet on the far wall of the 2nd room as well as all the electricity in the next room remains on. All 3 rooms on the same circuit. Help! This happened before. When I turned on the TV. It eventually came back on, but this time it is taking longer with no signs of returning.

Answer: Check the receptacle for lose connections.If the other stuff that is on the same circuit remained on there is probable a lose connection somewhere
