Two Outlets in GFCI path not working

[rburke]

I have 2 outlets controlled by the GFCI that are not working and 2 that are. In the kitchen. there are 2 protected outlets, one works and the other doesn't and the outside receptacle does not work.

The GFCI receptacle is in the bathroom, seems to test and reset properly - but when reset still have those 2 outlets out.

Was thinking about replacing the GFCI but I am not sure, or maybe the non-functioning outlets.

Any ideas? I may need to call an electrician in on this one but thought I would try here first. Thank you!

Double post, since there are more post in the thread in the TT forum 2 outlets in GFCI path not working I'll close this one, please reply in the other thread.

Horsedoc yes thats the way I understand it, but in my case the GFI is not tripped - one downstream outlet works and two do not. I will take those outlets out this weekend and see what I see. Its possible I have another GFI receptacle somewhere but I have not found one.

Tell me if I am wrong guys.
Circuit comes of the breaker panel and if the first receptacle is GFIC then anything downstream from that shorts, the GFIC trips. Any receptacle past the GFIC that shorts will trip the GFIC at the top end of the circuit.
I ended up having to have a new GFIC because it would not re-set.
