Power Failure
If a certain circuit should not work, it usually means the circuit breaker has been “tripped” due to overloading the circuit. If this occurs, check the circuit panel. This can also occur for AFCI/arc fault breakers during heavy lighting thunderstorms. If a breaker is found in the middle position, turn it off & back on again to reset it.
If the breaker is in the “ON” position but there is no power to the respective area, contact the Service Department to further investigate the nature of the problem. If the breaker has tripped and is in the “OFF” position, check to ensure that the circuit is not being overloaded using too many appliances, lamps, etc. Then, switch the breaker back to the “ON” position. If the problem persists, contact the Service Department.
Arc Fault Circuit Interrupters are installed for the bedrooms. Should one of these trip, ensure the breaker is in the “OFF” position all the way, unplug all items in the bedrooms then turn the breaker back “ON”. You can try to plug the items back in to determine what is tripping the breaker.
Power Failure in Washrooms or At Exterior Receptacle
All bathrooms are protected with an interconnected Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI) for safety. Check and push the reset button located on the electrical outlets in one of the bathrooms or on the exterior receptacle.
NOTE: In all instances, when checking the circuit breaker, the breaker switch should be turned off & on to ensure the proper connection is being made.
Circuit breaker switches do not always fully move to the OFF position when the circuit is tripped. Circuit breakers should be tested in this manner at least once a year.
