Resetting a dead electrical outlet depends on whether the receptacle features an integrated Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) or is controlled by a remote breaker. If the outlet has test and reset buttons on its face, press the "Reset" button firmly until you hear a mechanical click. If it is a standard outlet, you must locate your home electrical service panel and reset the tripped circuit breaker switch by flipping it fully to the "Off" position and then back to "On". You can troubleshoot dead outlets safely using a non-contact voltage tester. You can verify that your corrective action is successful when pressing the GFCI reset button or flipping the breaker restores normal voltage output to the receptacle.
