Troubleshooting and Repairs
Frequently Asked Questions:
What should I do if an outlet sparks, buzzes, or smells like burning plastic?
Shut off the circuit breaker powering that outlet or area immediately and do not attempt to use it. Contact Kraft Electric right away at (253) 987-5270 so a licensed electrician can inspect and resolve the safety hazard.
Why does a specific circuit breaker keep tripping even after I reset it?
Repeated breaker trips usually indicate either a circuit overload (too many high-draw appliances running simultaneously) or a direct electrical fault, such as a short circuit or ground fault. Our diagnostic troubleshooting isolates the exact source of the failure safely.
What causes lights to flicker or dim unexpectedly throughout a house?
Flickering lights can stem from loose wiring connections, voltage drops caused by major appliances kicking on, or failing breaker panel buses. A professional diagnostic check identifies and fixes the underlying wiring issue.
