Reported problem
The resident reported that a couple of outlets in the garage were not working. The issue involved an electrical outlet or switch malfunction causing loss of power in the garage area.
Diagnosis and recommended repair
The technician diagnosed multiple failures including an electrical surge, defective components, and loose connections. A wire believed to have been spliced was lost within a closed ceiling space, interrupting the electrical signal. Voltage at the breaker was confirmed good, but the wire leading to the garage opener receptacle was not functioning properly.
To resolve the problem, the technician recommended running new wiring from the electrical panel to a new breaker. Additionally, replacement of three parts was necessary: a circuit breaker, a receptacle, and electrical wire.
Work performed and reported outcome
Upon receiving authorization, the technician completed the repair by installing a new circuit breaker, receptacle, and electrical wiring as recommended. The outlets in the garage were tested and confirmed operational. The repair was completed in one visit according to the technician's report.
