Chris Price Electrical Outlet Troubleshooting
28 October 2016 | 15 replies
Troubleshooting in this order:1) Pull out oven and fridge to look for more downstream GFCI outlets I may have missed.2) Check the voltage coming from my hot line to make sure it is 120.3) Disconnect the upstream outlet and retest the hot line downstream to confirm it is actually downstream and not getting extra voltage from somewhere.4) Replace the down stream outlet with a regular old outlet.5) Make sure everything is wired correctly at the devices in question.6) Admit defeat and call a professional.Thanks for all your help.
