Can any fellow Blazers here recommend an electrician?
I have a washing machine that seems to have shorted its plug, and also several outlets in bathrooms that don't work. For the bathroom outlets, i've already gone through and reset all of the GFCI outlets that I could find.
I'm in the McCalla area.

I'm not an electrician or an expert, but for the outlets just make sure that the breaker is off (you cannot over verify this) before swapping out an outlet. Swapping them out isn't too difficult, just match up the wires & wrap them with electric tape.
If you have any doubts, then certainly the electrician route would be your safe bet.
For the washing machine, if it is under warranty, then let them worry about it.
If it isn't under warranty, you have to justify the cost of calling someone out versus purchasing a new one. It may be more than just the plug that isn't working.
Just some thoughts.
