“If you replace the problem GFI outlet with a standard 15a outlet, do you still have the same symptoms?” The answer is no. Everything works fine when I replaced the problem GFCI with a standard 15 AMP outlet. Three weeks ago when this trouble all began I told my friend Stan. “ I’ll just put in a standard outlet and forget about the GFCI and try not to drop my blow dryer and curling iron in a sink full of water”. That was in jest. I did temporarily replace the GFCI with a standard receptacle this morning before I saw the post from deandec. You can help me with this deandec. Shouldn’t this now put me back to looking for a lose connection somewhere? I checked all the visible and easy to get to connections last week but have not pulled every outlet from the wall.
Back to this morning……after putting in the standard outlet and watching everything work fine I’m thinking…. “lucky me…3 weeks ago I bought a brand new in the box GFCI that was bad”…… So this morning I bought another one. Took it home put it in. Nothing changed. I have current that runs right thru the temporary standard outlet but will not go thru a GFCI. Anyone know how to test for a weak CB like deandec sez it might be? He’s as close to solving this problem as anyone.
