Main information
What it could mean
When one specific socket loses power while the rest of the home works fine, the fault is usually localised to that point or its circuit.
Safety first
Try a different appliance in that same socket to rule out that the problem is the appliance rather than the power point.
Next step
If the problem persists with different appliances, the circuit and connection at that specific point are worth checking.
Frequently asked questions
How do I know if it's the socket or the appliance?
Try a different appliance in the same socket; if that also doesn't work, the fault is the power point.
Could more than one socket be affected?
Yes, if they share a circuit; worth checking nearby sockets in the same area.
Does resetting the breaker fix it?
In some cases yes; if it fails again after resetting, a more thorough check is needed.
