Common Reasons Why an Electrical Outlet Not Working But Breaker Is Fine
When you call Moffam Electricals, our experts perform a thorough inspection to find and fix the fault. The most common causes include:
1. Loose Outlet or Outlet Box
Frequent plugging and unplugging can loosen the outlet or the box holding it. This breaks the connection and can pose a shock risk.
Our fix: Secure the outlet and tighten all connections.
2. Damaged Circuit Breaker
Even if it hasn’t visibly tripped, a breaker can fail internally after surges or shorts.
Our fix: Test the breaker and replace it if necessary.
3. Loose Wiring Connections
Loose or damaged wires prevent electricity from reaching the outlet. This is especially common in older properties.
Our fix: Reconnect wires securely using safe, compliant methods.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1: Why is my electrical outlet not working but breaker is fine?
This can happen due to loose wiring, a tripped GFCI outlet, damaged outlet components, or internal electrical faults.
Q2: How do I know if my outlet is damaged?
If the outlet is warm, discolored, produces sparks, or doesn’t supply power even when the breaker is fine, it may be faulty and needs replacement.
Q3: What is a GFCI outlet and why does it trip?
A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) outlet trips to protect you from electrical shocks when it detects current leakage. Resetting it often restores power.
Q4: Can I fix an outlet myself if the breaker is fine?
Basic troubleshooting like checking a GFCI reset is safe, but for wiring or replacement, it’s best to hire a licensed electrician to avoid risks.
Q5: When should I call Moffam Electricals for outlet repair?
If resetting or checking basic issues doesn’t restore power, or if there are burning smells, sparks, or repeated failures, call Moffam Electricals for professional repair.
Q6: How can I prevent outlets from failing in the future?
Regular inspections, using quality electrical materials, and ensuring compliance with Kenyan standards will keep your outlets safe and reliable.
