See, if half of my outlets stopped working, I would assume there is some major issue that has triggered, like half of the outlets to stop working. I mean, there can be several reasons behind outlets failing to work, like the fuse is blown and all. I will share the reasons and I think these will help you make out what has happened with the electrical outlets at your home.


Why Half of Outlet Stopped Working?


  1. Blown Fuse: If your house electricity works through a fuse box, the fuse can be the problem. Check the fuse box and see if the fuse is blown, or if discolouration of glass has occurred, or the metal has melted. 

  2. Tripped Circuit Breaker: Another reason can be a tripped circuit breaker. Circuit breakers control electricity in your home as it flows into every room. When excessive electrical current is being distributed at one point, the breaker will trip, which shuts off power in order to keep the circuits from overheating. So, check the circuit breaker panel and switch it off to reset the breaker.

  3. Burnt Outlet: Another reason for your outlets to have stopped working is that your outlets have burnt out. As strong electrical current flows through outlets, they can at times catch a small fire within the wiring, which will lead to the outlet not working.


I hope you now know the reasons.
