Electrical Outlet Troubleshooting

[Chris Price]

Both outlets in the kitchen of one of my rental units stopped working. They are both GFCI outlets, and the one jumps from the other. I can't reset them. There are no other GFCI outlets that I can see that they might be connected to (that might be tripped). The breaker didn't trip.  Also, both outlets tested hot.

I replaced the devices and I can't get the new ones to reset either.

Any advice?

That is a strange wiring. You need one GFCI outlet to feed the other outlets non GFCIs at the counter. Depending of make and age, it could also be a faulty breaker or a lose connection n a junction box, if a lack of power is the problem. A lose connection can also create a current leak tripping your GFCIs permanently. It is detective's work.
