What To Look For If An Electrical Socket Is Not Working

 

With regards to the inner conductor of wire, if an electrical socket is not working, look for:

 

· Burnt (black) strands.

 

· Broken strands – not many strands connected to the electrical socket.

 

· Burnt (black) insulation.

 

· Brittle inner strands – the inner conductor is deteriorating.

 

If the electrical wiring has any of the above problems replace or repair the wiring.
