    My kitchen outlets are not working?
    Hi, I am having trouble with my outlets as well. I have 3 outlets along the wall that just stopped working. I did reset the GCFI, and that outlet works, and then one next to it works, but the other 3 next to that one don't work. I reset them and tried everything, is there anything else someone can recommend for me to try

    Have you checked all of the breakers in your panel? Do you know if all of these outlets are on the same circuit? Is each outlet its own GFCI, if so what happens when you press the reset button? Sorry for all questions and no answer yet

    I have reset the breaker many times in hopes of fixing it but it did not do anything. And I only have 2 GFCI outlets in my kitchen so I assumed 1 was for one half and the other one was for the other half of the outlets. I have push the reset button a couple of times but that has not done anything,

    You answered correctly both times. Do your GFCIs have a small red pilot light or not? Try pushing TEST, did you hear a smart click or pop? You probably know this but to reset a breaker that has tripped you must first shut it fully to the OFF position before flipping back to ON>
