    Electrical help please

    In my kitchen at our new to us place I have 4 plugs on the same wall. All 4 are dead. Ive pulled the plugs out and have tested the wires from the bare side and nothin. Breakers are all in the on position and everything in the house works put these 4 plugs. One plug is new and the other 3 look original to this old house. Idk what to do but replace the old plugs with new ones. Ive pulled two off completely and have bare wire now. Ive tested these bare wires and have no juice.

    Ideas? Btw. Wife was using the toaster when the plugs failed.

    Do you have a GFCI plug that needs to be reset, maybe in the bathroom?

    Just because the breakers are at the on position does not mean they're on. Switch each one off and back on. Sometimes the easiest fix is the fix.

    Could be a bad breaker. I would flip them off then back on and make sir they don't feel sloppy.

    I just asked my father in law what he thinks since he's an electrician.

    He says there could be as many as 12 outlets on the same circuit and that it only takes one bad one to kill all of them.

    There are only these four on this bank. Went into the breaker panel and fucked with all the breakers. They are labled wrong and a lil sloppy. I found one that was stuck between on and tripped. Cleaned it up, replaced the 30 yr old plugs just for shits and giggles and I'm good to go now. Thanks everyone.
