A homeowner in New Orleans contacted MK Electric Man when they noticed that their kitchen lighting, including both undercounter lights and the overhead light, was not working.

The lack of lighting made food preparation and other kitchen tasks difficult, disrupting daily routines.

The client needed a trusted electrician in New Orleans, LA, to diagnose the issue and restore power to the lights quickly.

Our team arrived promptly to investigate, suspecting a fault in the circuit supplying the kitchen lights, such as a short circuit or damaged wiring.

The fact that both undercounter and overhead lights were affected suggested a common issue within the circuit, requiring careful troubleshooting to pinpoint the cause.

The challenge was to identify the fault and repair it efficiently while minimizing damage to the kitchen’s structure, particularly the sheetrock, which the client preferred to keep intact.

Our goal was to restore full lighting functionality, ensuring the kitchen was safe, well-lit, and operational.

Our approach to this repair involved a systematic troubleshooting process to locate and resolve the electrical fault.

We began by inspecting the circuit serving the kitchen lights, checking the circuit breaker panel to ensure the breaker was not tripped or faulty.

The breaker was in good condition, indicating the issue was within the circuit itself, likely related to the wiring or connections.

We then opened the switch box controlling the undercounter and overhead lights to check for an electrical short, a common cause of lighting failures.

Inside, we found that the Romex wiring feeding the circuit was shorted out and faulty, preventing electrical current from flowing properly to the lights.

The shorted wiring was likely due to insulation damage or wear, causing the circuit to fail and the lights to remain off.

To repair the issue without cutting into the sheetrock, we devised a minimally invasive solution.

We removed the undercounter light fixture to access the wiring and identified a nearby working receptacle that could serve as a power source.

We installed new 12-2 Romex electrical wiring, carefully fishing it through the existing light fixture and wall to connect the receptacle to the undercounter light.

This approach avoided the need for extensive wall repairs, preserving the kitchen’s appearance while addressing the fault.

The new Romex wiring, with its grounding conductor, ensured safe and reliable power delivery to the repaired circuit.

After completing the wiring installation, we reconnected the undercounter and overhead lights and tested the circuit.

Both light fixtures powered on successfully, illuminating the kitchen brightly and consistently.

A final inspection confirmed that all connections were secure, the wiring was properly insulated, and the system met local electrical codes.

Everything worked perfectly after the job was complete, restoring full functionality to the kitchen lighting.
