Outlet and Light in Bathroom Stopped Working?

I was using a small space heater and didn't think when I went to plug in my hair dryer to the same outlet. When I turned it on, the power to the outlets in the back of the house and bathroom light are now not working. We tried to flip the breaker switches off and back on, but it's not coming back on. Everything else in the house is fine. Any ideas what it could be?

You've blown a fuse in the circuit that serves the bathroom and back rooms. You may have to get professional help if there is no obvious fuse system in your meter board.

You've probably already done this but I'll restate the obvious. Most bathrooms (and kitchens) have GFI's somewhere in the room.

Did you check all your outlets in the bathroom to see if the little red rectangle thing had popped out? If so just push it in.

GFI or GFCI stands for Ground Fault Circuit Interupter. It's a type of outlet that turns off when there is a problem with the line, to prevent electrical shocks. It has a reset button and are commonly found in bathrooms.

It sounds like you may have a small short in the wiring. Have it checked out, before it spreads!
