    Electrical wall outlets showing open neutral
    Same as Mike 306. I have three outlets that show open neutral. There are no other reset buttons other than the breaker. Which was not tripped. I pulled the outlet that my wife and girls was using prier to the outlet going out. I could not see a problem. So I replaced the breaker and it still showed an open neutral. On all three outlets. Our house is only two years old. So please help I don't know what else to do.

    Try starting at the panel testing across the black and white until you find the broken neutral. Work your way through the circuit.
