GFCI won't reset
Kitchen GFCI won't reset. Put in a new one and still won't reset. Outlet manages frig, slideout wall outlet, overhead light on slideout and bathroom. Told there might be a short somewhere. Any suggest...

My gfi looked like this behind the wall and still worked!
Wires melted and burnt to a crisp and still providing power.:S
Not good. Curious - why is that a residential type recept. and not an SCD RV type? Someone changed it? The melted wire can't have been terminated properly.
Are there SCD GFCI's made? I don't think I've come across them--only plain receptacles.
Same here.
FWIW, when I rewired my restoration project, every device location had a Shallow 8 cu in. box (I actually used new-work boxes) installed. If users have a failed device, these boxes are easy to install and then you can use conventional non-SCD devices.
