    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.
