Electrics gone off down one side of living room

[ElTortilla]

Help! On one side of my living room I can't get any power. I can everywhere else in the house. Please does anyone know what I can do?

Part of your circuit may have tripped. Check your circuit box for any switches that have gone down and switch them back up.

Have you checked your circuit breakers? One of them may have tripped.

You will have tripped a fuse in your fuse box.

Find your fuse box. Normally downstairs as it'll be close to where the electricity comes into the house. Downstairs loo or similar.

Open it up. One switch will be a different way from all the others. Switch it the other way.

If it immediately switches back you have a bigger problem and may need an electrician

Fuses and circuit breakers are not the same thing. You either have a fuse box or a circuit breaker panel. If a fuse has blown, it will need to be replaced with the proper size fuse. If a circuit has tripped, the switch will need to be flipped so that the circuit is closed and the electrical current will be restored.

Or as I once saw a six inch nail.

Eeek I had a look at the electricity panel and nothing I could see. There were two red switches. All the black ones were up.

I have just two things plugged in that side of the wall that won't power on. Everything else in the house seems fine.

Now I can't get hot water 😫

Unplug the things that side, flip the switch back again and see if it works?

A light upstairs is also not working now.

I really don't know what I'm doing with the switch in the panel but I switched one back up which was down. Still nothing. I switched it all off and then on again. Still nothing. My boiler is showing no signs of life and neither are several sockets or lights. Weirdly, these are all in different parts of the house.

Cold shower, here I come!

well they won’t all work if they aren’t all switched on. Have you bought something new and plugged it in or plugged in something different? Can you post a photo of the panel?
