I'm stumped guys.... For the second time.
The GFCI in my bathroom has blown and will not reset. We plugged a heater in the outlet. It worked for a while, then it tripped off. It will now reset.
This is the second time.
The first time stumped me as well. As my 5er was going into the shop for some other work. I left it to them. The fix, (for whatever reason) was to install another wire from the breaker panel to the GFCI. And it worked. Until now. 5 months.
I am not a completed noob, but I'm just not getting it. There IS power going out of the breaker, but nothing is reaching the outlets. I don't have a voltage probe for a few more days. (Isolation)
I'm still working on it while we are in quarantine, but my hair is falling out.
Any ideas without seeing the set up?
