Dear Brownstoners,

Need your help. Was switching my living room AC from high cool to low cool and it blew out 7 of my outlets in the living room and bedroom including the switches for my two ceiling fans. Checked the box and was hoping it was just a short circuit but all the buttons are still switched to “on” except for the bedroom button which is stuck in the middle.

I’m going to try and get an electrician in here despite the holiday but was hoping that someone on the site might “diagnose” the problem so I don’t end up getting ripped off if in fact it’s something simple. Has this ever happened to anyone else?

Thanks and hope everyone’s enjoying the long weekend!
