Did you shut the hair dryer off??? if you left the dryer on, it could be tripping the breaker every time you reset the breaker.

You might want to check for a short. Also, check your hair dryer and make sure there is no trouble there. A few months ago I had trouble with the electricity in the kitchen when the microwave was starting to go bad.

Good luck!

You have a GFCI breaker in the loop. It is an outlet usually with a button or two in the center. It may not be in the bathroom you are using. It could be in the kitchen or garage. Once you find it, one button should be marked "RESET". Push it in and see if the outlet is working.

Also, it may be the hair dryer was on too long and the safety kicked on. Try plugging something else in to the outlet and see if it works.

If these don't work, you may have burned out the outlet itself. You would need to replace the outlet.

Are you asking why the rest of the house is ok? Or are you saying that the bedroom is still out, even though you reset the breaker? You might have tripped the GFI breaker on the outlet. You can press reset, and everything should come back on. It sucks that just a hair dryer would trip a breaker. Are you sure you didn't have a curling iron plugged in, too? And maybe a whole lot of other stuff???

You may have too meny other electrical items on the same circut or commonly refered to a GFI over load area. If not then there maybe falty Breaker or fuse. Then the wire also may have a short in your dryer, switch or wire. Then again if you may have out door Seasonal Christmas Lights on at the same time you are trying to use your hair blower or dryer. Then this has caused outages also. Then if some one maybe using other plug-in

electrical applance the same time you use the dryer may have ,caused too meny amps on your circut. Then causing the over load to the circut. I install Seasonal Christmas Lights out doors. However my first two years doing this I had several customers that experence similar problems. This is when Lights just came on by a timer and then at the same time . A person was using dryer in two different bathrooms, plus a microwave oven on,plus a Big Screen TV. At these items where on the same circut made for no more then 14 amps . The amps being put out on this system where actually close to 18 amps. This is why I had to seperate the plugged in lites to different part of plugs.

To get the Lites working without blowing circuts and breakers.

So good Luck in your case: Merry Christmas. Plus if all else fails call a License Electral Electricians Contractor that can help with puting a Meggar, or olms meter check on your system.

Loss of electricity while using a hair dryer is due to a tripped circuit breaker nearly 100% of the time.

If you have a GFI type outlet (you can tell because it has a RESET button on it), then simply push the reset button as others have suggested. If you don't have a GFI outlet, then double check that you have indeed reset the circuit breaker in your main panel.

It's easy to think you have reset the main panel circuit breaker when in fact you have not. You must flip the circuit breaker to the "OFF" position first, and then back to the "ON" position to reset it. If you just try to push it to the "ON" position, it will NOT be reset. I have made this mistake myself.

You can turn your breacker back off and make sure that the wire going into the breaker is tight. Next check your outlet that your dryer was plugged into. It may be shorted. Make sure the wires are tight on the back side of it and make sure that the ground wire is not touching the hot wire or the connection on the back of the outlet. I have seen this many times. You will See a burn mark on your ground wire where it has arked. Just move the wire back out of the way. and re install the outlet.
