Last week my washing machine outlet stopped working. Yesterday an electrician determined it to be a breaker and he fixed the outlet power. He said he moved the wire of the non working breaker in the breaker panel to an unused breaker. Things were working fine. Today all of a sudden the upstairs rooms lose power. This was working yesterday and everything has been fine till that one issue with the washing machine. I checked none of the breakers were tripped. ii reset them anyway. Still no power. Its sat and cold. We depend on a heater in the room for warmth. So its going to be a cold night if i cant get it fixed. Please help. Thanks

We have multiple circuits randomly turning on and off. If one goes out, then the same additional circuits also go out. No breakers are tripping. Sometimes the power stays out for an hour or so, sometimes for a day or so. This can happen every-other-day, or can be fine for 2-3 weeks. I have had two electricians come out to chase this down. They tried replacing breakers, outlets, etc., etc. Problem still persists and the electricians seem to be running out of ideas. Our house is pretty old. Most of the wiring is somewhat contemporary romex, whereas there are still a couple of places with knob and tube. The areas going out are areas with relatively recent wiring (just before we bought house 3 1/2 years ago). Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
