The Challenge

Intermittent power loss to bathroom fan and light persisted despite prior GFCI outlet replacements by licensed electricians, requiring detailed wiring diagnostics.

  • Diagnosed faulty neutral wiring and loose connections in bathroom circuit
  • Repaired wiring connections ensuring proper contact and secure wiring
  • Tested light and fan operation confirming stable power supply and function

Project Outcome
