Have three (3) outlets in the kitchen that suddenly stopped working. One of the outlets is a GFCI outlet, and pressing the reset does not do anything. Also tried flipping the Breaker with no success. What most likely is the problem? Should I replace the breaker or replace the GFCI wall adapter first? Any way to tell what the problem is or is it just trial and error? Thanks for any help.

Is the GFCI Really tripped and did you push the test button and see if it trips. If not then it needs to be replaced because it won’t reset, other than that I have run into wires being loose an pulling out receptacle which takes away from the outlets down stream.
