- A burning, plastic, or fishy smell from the outlet
- Visible scorching, browning, or melting around the face

- Adjacent outlets on the same circuit are also affected
- A tingle felt when touching the outlet face
About Why Is My Power Point Not Working?
A dead power point is most often caused by a tripped RCD, a tripped breaker, a loose loop connection behind the outlet, or worn pin contacts — not the outlet itself.
If the outlet sparked, smells burnt, or is hot to touch, call 0433 462 902 now; for a non-urgent fault, book a same-day diagnostic online.
In Sydney homes, an RCD reset incompletely and a damaged appliance drawing no current are two faults that often go unnoticed until an electrician checks the switchboard. Sydney Electrical Service is dispatched 24/7 across every metropolitan suburb, and diagnosis typically takes minutes once on site.
What to Do Right Now in Miranda
- Try a different appliance. Plug a known-working lamp or phone charger in.
- Try the same appliance in a different outlet on a different circuit to confirm the appliance works.
- Open the switchboard. Check for tripped breakers and RCDs.
- Reset any tripped device once. If it won't hold, leave it OFF and call us.
- Check the wall switch if the outlet has one — sometimes a switched outlet has been turned off without you noticing.
- Inspect the outlet face for any damage, discolouration, or soot.
- Touch-test the outlet for heat (gently — back of hand first).
- Check adjacent outlets on the same circuit for any signs of damage.
- Photograph any visible damage for our diagnostic dispatch.
