Troubleshooting a Circuit Problem?

We had a plug problem and switched the electric off; now the kitchen, pantry, and the landing won't work. What do I do at circuit breaker?

It would be best to get an electrician.

The panel cover to the breaker panel needs to be removed and the breaker (or all breakers) checked to make sure voltage is still being supplied to each circuit (the breaker is actually on). Working electrical hot like this requires an electrician.

If each breaker is on, and you were experiencing plug problems, I would begin by de-energizing the breaker to that circuit and checking the receptacle installation and wiring for damage (rodent, heat, moisture, ...) by removing the receptacle and visually inspecting it and the wires behind it.

Again I would recommend an electrician for this work. 120 VAC has caused fatalities and needs to be respected.
