When a wall socket blows (stops working or trips the breaker), it's important to take immediate steps to ensure safety. Here's what you should do:

  1. <a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Safety%20First">Safety First</a>: Immediately stop using the socket. Turn off or unplug any devices connected to the socket. This prevents further damage or injury.

  2. <a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Check%20the%20Breaker">Check the Breaker</a>: Go to your electrical panel (breaker box) and check if the circuit breaker associated with that outlet has tripped (switched to the "off" position or a middle position). If it has, flip it fully to the "off" position and then back to the "on" position.

  3. <a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Test%20the%20Socket">Test the Socket</a>: After resetting the breaker, test the socket with a known-good device (like a lamp) to see if it works.

  4. <a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/If%20it%20Trips%20Again">If it Trips Again</a>: If the breaker trips immediately after you reset it, do not keep trying to reset it. There's likely a short circuit or an overload on that circuit.

  5. <a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Check%20for%20Overloads">Check for Overloads</a>: Consider whether you had too many high-power devices plugged into the circuit at once (e.g., a space heater, hair dryer, and microwave). If so, try moving some devices to different circuits.

  6. <a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Inspect%20the%20Outlet">Inspect the Outlet</a>: If the breaker doesn't trip but the socket still doesn't work, carefully inspect the outlet itself for any visible damage, like burn marks, loose wiring, or a cracked faceplate. Do not touch any exposed wires.

  7. <a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/Call%20an%20Electrician">Call an Electrician</a>: If you're not comfortable working with electricity, if the breaker trips repeatedly, or if you see any signs of damage to the outlet, call a qualified electrician to inspect and repair the problem. Dealing with electrical issues can be dangerous, and it's best to leave it to the professionals.
