A homeowner reached out to MK Electric Man after noticing that several key receptacles in their kitchen were not working, disrupting daily activities.

Specifically, the countertop ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) receptacle was not powered, and the receptacle under the sink, which powers the garbage disposal, was also inoperative.

These issues rendered essential kitchen appliances unusable, creating inconvenience and potential safety concerns.

The client needed a skilled electrician in Metairie, LA, to diagnose and resolve the problem quickly.

Our team arrived promptly at the location, ready to troubleshoot the electrical system and restore power to the affected areas.

The lack of power in the kitchen receptacles suggested a fault within the circuit, possibly related to the circuit breaker panel or wiring.

The challenge was to identify the precise cause of the outage without unnecessary disruption to the home’s electrical system.

Our goal was to restore power efficiently, ensuring the kitchen receptacles were safe and fully functional.

Our approach to this repair involved a thorough troubleshooting process to pinpoint and fix the electrical fault.

We began by focusing on the electrical circuit breaker panel, as it is the central hub for power distribution in the home.

To ensure a safe working environment, we shut off the main power and carefully removed all circuit breakers from the panel bus to inspect the connections.

During this inspection, we noticed corrosion on the bus, which can cause poor conductivity and lead to power failures.

Using a wire brush, we meticulously removed the corrosion to restore proper contact.

To prevent future corrosion and enhance the panel’s reliability, we applied an electrical anti-corrosion lubricant to the bus, ensuring smooth and stable power delivery.

Further examination revealed that the 20-amp, 120-volt circuit breaker serving the kitchen receptacles had failed, likely due to the corrosion or an internal fault.

This failure explained why the countertop GFCI receptacle and the garbage disposal receptacle were not receiving power.

We replaced the faulty 20-amp, single-pole, 120-volt circuit breaker with a new, high-quality unit, ensuring compatibility with the panel and the kitchen circuit’s requirements.

After completing the cleaning, lubrication, and breaker replacement, we reinstalled the circuit breakers and restored power to the panel.

We tested the kitchen receptacles, confirming that the countertop GFCI receptacle and the under-sink receptacle for the garbage disposal were fully operational.

A final inspection verified that all connections were secure, and the panel was free of corrosion, ensuring long-term reliability.

Power was restored, and everything worked perfectly, much to the homeowner’s relief.
