I just came across this thread while looking up an issue that I am having with my two outside outlets. Both my front rear outlets are out and not running my front water fountain or the pool in the back yard. We had a power outtage yesterday and I had unplugged all the outdoor things. This morning when I had plugged them back in the items still did not work. There are only two or three outlets through the whole house that are resetable. The others are just labeled with a sticker that they are GFCI protected. In the box I only have two breakers that are labeled AFCI but not GFCI like previously mentioned in prior posts, these are to the two bedrooms. Would anyone be able to help, Im in the Marine Corps and am deploying in two days. I would love to get this fixed so my wife and kids can enjoy the pool.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

AFCI is your bedroom outlets. The outside outlets are GFCI and it can be a breaker in the panel or each individual outlet may have its own built in GFCI in the receptacle. To reset a breaker flip it completely off and then back to ON. To reset a receptacle GFCI there should be two small buttons, on mark TEST and the other RESET, press reset
