For no reason I can think of I have no power in the master bedroom. So I flip the breaker to no avail. Rest of house is fine.
Before the power when off I adjusted the ceiling fan down one speed and clicked the remote for the TV and DVR boxes to come on. Then the power went off. So I've unplugged the power strip from the wall that is for the TV and DVR, and I turned off the master wall switch for the ceiling fan & light. Flip the breaker and get nothing. I thought maybe one of those two had shorted out and was causing the blip.
Breaker does not appear to be tripped. Do breakers simply go bad out of the blue? Our house was built in 98, so we are coming up on 20 years old. I've never had this happen before and looking for the best way to trouble shoot the issue.
I considered shutting off all power to house and swapping out one breaker for another 20 amp to see if that was the issue but figured I'd ask here first. I have added a whole house generator so hoping if I shut off power to the house that the generator would not automatically kick on. Never tried shutting off since it was installed a couple years ago.
