Can I move a GFCI receptacle?
The GFCI receptacle with the reset button in my TT is buried behind the television in the cabinet. Is there any problem with swapping it with one of the more accessible GFCI receptacle?

Thanks to everyone for the replies. However all I want to do is swap the outlets, nor rebuild the AC system. If it can't be done that simply then I will just live with the inconvenience of the reset being hidden behind the TV
Is the TV set receptacle causing the tripping or some other (i.e. outside) receptacle doing it?
My suggestion was to leave the existing one behind the TV, but rewire so that the downstream receptacles are NOT connected to the "load" terminals, THEN adding another GFCI on the next one in line. This way all receptacles are protected but if the nuisance trips are caused by anything but the TV receptacle, it's easy to reset. No new boxes or Romex required, just one new GFCI receptacle.
