Thanks, I will look for the broken wire. If I can't find it ... I will call
an electrician.
Thanks again!


No, don't look for a broken wire at first. 99% of the time you will
find the problem is a loose white connection inside an electrical box.
All of my problems were traced to a bad wire nut connection. Suspect
a broken wire only after checking connections.

No, you can't use it the way it is.

Somewhere the white wire has become disconnected. You must trace the
circuit and repair it. Aside from not working, it is a potentially
dangerous situation and I would recommend not using that circuit until it
is
fixed.

Fortunately it is also a very simple problem and should not require an
electrician if you read up a bit on electrical. (It is possible that the
wire has broken inside a wall and that would be a major job; but it is
also
very unlikely.)
