    Electrical outlet not working
    I have 2 electrical outlets in the bathroom that test with power but do not work for anything when items are plugged in. Any ideas why this would be. I did have to replace a GFI a feww weeks back but they still don't work. Could it be that there is some power but just not enough to power the items we plug in?

    " but just not enough to power the items we plug in?" no, forget that line of thinking. Start by telling us why you replaced the GFCI and was it a GFCI breaker or GFCI outlet?
