  If tested hot to ground at receptacle, you would have realized the open neutral.

  I like that you took the time to be safe and went to check the receptacles and using your multimeter. Great job.

  I love watching your troubleshooting videos. You get right into it, explain in detail what happened and you have a nice flow to your work. I'm not even an electrician but did home improvements for years and I've always found electrical work fascinating. You got a new subscriber.

  That’s why manufacturers have torque specifications! Good work.

  I only got on YouTube to find out how to change an electric outlet. Here I am three hours later binge watching your videos and I have learned so much. I wish you were stationed here in or set up here in Missouri because I would instantly hire you.

  You wanna' see loose connections...when I began working in the late 60's the use of aluminum wiring was rampant.  Aluminum shrinks in plain regular atmosphere.  So loose connections was an everyday occurance.  So much so that homes were burning on a regular basis.  Use of penetrox was implemented to help avoid future issues.  And that is penetrox on the outlet connections as well as the panel side.  And if you found one such on a call, all had to be done.  Your service call could wind up taking days to complete.  One loose circuit in a 50+ year old panel is mere child's play to an experienced electrician like me.   Most of the aluminum wiring issues have since been resolved, one way or the other, by now.  Thank heavens.  I remember one service call in a home in suburban Washington DC back in 1977 where wire running from a service disonnect to and electric furnace was glowing red in the furnace closet.  It looked like a toaster.  And luckily it hadn't set fire yet.  I think that was around the time that aluminum wire in low amp circuits was outlawed.  Still in use by the power company or in large size runs though.
