kitchen. all the light switches dont work. the bathroom and kitchen light

have you tried shutting off the main breaker and resetting it?
try looking into what she plugged into you may have a problem there.


Is there power on BOTH sides of the Main? You might have one leg out.

Otherwise, put a test meter on each breaker to be sure they are all
working. If they are, you likely have a burnt wire or loose
connection on that line. Start with the outlet where the hair dryer
was plugged.

One other thing. Is that a GFI outlet? Maybe all that other stuff is
on the GFI. Push the reset button.
