In this video, I talk about some common reasons why electrical outlets (receptacles) can stop working and how to identify the problem. I also cover more of an advanced issue when there is a loose wire nut that caused an arc and created a bad connection. This could have caused an electrical fire in the box but fortunately, it just melted the wires.
