Electrical problem

I have a switch that feeds an outlet. Outlet has no power. Checked the voltage at switch…zero. No thrown breakers. All GCFI’s reset. Any ideas why no power?

Per my recent home issues, either you have a GFCI you haven't checked or the breaker is bad.

Add transformer fluid.

Do you have power coming into the switch? Possible bad switch

Not funny. Never know who’s dumb enough but then I guess that’s Darwinism.
To answer the OP. Pull cover off the outlet and check the wires running into outlet for power. If you have power then it’s a bad outlet. If no power go to circuit breaker

Is the switch connected to anything else like a light or ceiling fan? That would be one way to see if it's the switch or not.

No power to switch. But no breakers are thrown.

bad connection somewhere
most houses run power to the light before it goes down to the switch, check the ceiling box for a loose connection but turn off power before doing it. a lose wire can light you up and ruin your day, or even start a fire

Replace the switch.

Did you replace anything recently?

Nothing has been replaced recently. Everything was working a week ago.

Are you sure there is not an unknown GFI receptacle upstream that is tripped?
Quite often a receptacle is fed from a GFI in another area of the house.
