    Outlets not working
    I have an outlet in my kitchen that does not work. One side has a GFCI and the other side a switch. The switch works not the GFCI does not. I tried to replace it and it still does not work. One side of my kitchen outlets does not work, but the other side does. I tested the others and there fine. I also cut off and on the circuit breakers as well.I do not know what to do.

    Pull the switch/outlet cover off.pull the gfci outlet out and check the connections of the neautral wired.(the white ones).theres probably several twisted together with a red wire nut.make sure that red nut is tight.

    Push the reset on the gfci and see if it actually resets, test with a meter or prong tester. Also check each or the other outlets not working. You are looking to see if the neutral wire is solidly connected to each receptacle. You may have lost your neutral
