    GFCI Problem

    Just an update, went to Home Depot this evening and picked up a 20amp tamper resistant GCFI outlet and hooked it up and now all 3 outlets are working as intended. Thank you very much for your patience and help with this. If you are ever in Grove City (Columbus area) Ohio let me know and I will...

    GFCI Problem

    Thanks. I think I am going to head to the store and pick one up and see if that is my issue. If not I am not quite sure what it could be and I will probably have to call and electrician.

    GFCI Problem

    I just plugged something in and it didn't turn on at any of the 3 outlets. Again the black wires are showing hot with the voltage testing pen I have been using. That being said when I stick the pen in the actual socket on 2 of the 3 (GFCI included) I get a rapid beeping. On the outlet that...

    GFCI Problem

    Update: I have replaced the other two normal outlets on the circuit and tightened everything so I shouldn't have any loose connections. Still showing an open neutral. I can see the wires coming from the wall on the range outlet so I am positive I have the black wire matched up with the correct...

    GFCI Problem

    Here is a pic of the outlet for the gas range. As you can see it has two black and two white wires. If for instance one of the black wires wasn't matched with its correct neutral could that be causing the issue? Only reason I ask is because all 3 of these outlets worked at some point so...

    GFCI Problem

    Yes I did try replacing it with 2 of the 15amp GFCIs I had already. Neither of them worked. Wasn't sure if the amperage could cause it to not work. Nothing was plugged into any of the outlets at the time. One outlet has just a black, white, and ground wire so I am assuming that one is fine...

    GFCI Problem

    I tried replacing it but noticed the ones I had on hand were 15w as opposed to 20w. I was going to go to the store and pick up a 20w today to see if that was my issue.

    GFCI Problem

    That is the only GFCI on the circuit. There are two other normal outlets.

    GFCI Problem

    So are you saying that if I have the live hot and neutral on the line side I am correct? 1593528330 Here are a couple of pics of the outlet. The circle labeled 2 is the hot wire coming from the box. The one labeled 1 would be the out outlets being protected.

    GFCI Problem

    There are two wires coming into the box. The way they are coming into the box I can't be 100% sure but one is coming from the top right of the box and the other is coming from the left so I assumed those wires went together if that makes sense. The neutral wire that I have connected to the...

    GFCI Problem

    So I noticed on the GFCIs that I was trying to replace that they were 15amp as opposed to 20amp so I think that might be why I was getting live on the line side but not on the load side. I have put back the original GFCI that I thought was bad and I am getting my original open neutral from my...

    GFCI Problem

    I am using a non contact voltage meter/pen so there isn't another test probe. And yes it is one of the outlets that does not work. When I used a receptacle tester on it prior to pulling out any of the plugs all 3 of the non working outlets showed Open Neutral. When pulling the outlets out I...

    GFCI Problem

    I have had 3 outlets in our kitchen go out a few months ago and I am just now getting around to trying to fix the issue. I believe it may be an issue with the GFCI on that circuit. I have pulled the GFCI out and found the hot wire and made sure it was on the correct side of the line. The...
