In my kitchen under my sink I found an outlet that didn't seem to work until I realized it was controlled by a switch up next to the window.I am assuming... it is for a garbabe disposal. At some point someone put in a single outlet [round kind]. Anyway, is this outlet supposed to be GFCI, which it isn't. And, just out of curiosity can a GFCI adaptor be used, it's not like it's on all that often?

It does not need to be GFI protected.

Thanks. One less thing to do until the panel is replaced :)

Even then, it does not need to be GFI protected.

Oops, I just realized what that seemed to say. By the way, I have one outlet on a counter top 8 ft across the room from the sink counter top. Does that have to be GFCI? Maybe I will have to change an outlet..

Any kitchen above counter receptacle needs to be GFI protected.
