normw Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 I've bumped into this problem quite often, only on some receptacles located under sink for garburator and inside kitchen cabinet for range hood. When I plug in my receptacle testers (yes, I tried a few), it showed nothing, black, as if the receptacles were not connected at all. But when I plug in the garburator or range hood, they worked just fine. It happens so often that I no longer call it out, is anyone else out there see the same thing?

Brandon Whitmore Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Norm, when you plug the disposal cord back in, does it start grinding or do nothing until you turn the switch on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The power is run through the wall switch first and then to the outlet and corded appliance. Same as turning it off at the breaker. It is showed hot all the time, the appliances would run all the time. Now did you have one of those head slap moments? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
