    Electrical power lost to my Garage door opener
    I pressed the GFI, still no power. I checked the outlets that the Opener is plugged to, there is no power per the vault meter. The GFI outlets has power (located in bathroom). I checked the voltage at the breaker in the outside breaker panel. There is voltage going to the breaker. I did not remove breaker from the outside panel. The outside outlets that on the GFI are working.

    If opener outlet is in the ceiling ,it may not be on the same circuit as the garage GFI outlets.

    Good morning.

    There are rules specific to the bathroom. The 20 amp branch circuit that serves a bathroom receptacle can only service one entire bathroom (although it is a bad practice to put lights on a GFCI protected circuit). Or, one 20 amp branch circuit, GFCI protected, can serve the receptacles multiple bathrooms. Nothing else.

    If your garage door opener is connected into the same receptacles circuit as the bathroom, it is a code violation. Are you sure that the opener is on the breaker?

    When you made your voltage test, did you test immeadatley upstream of the opener circuit?

    Most likely a GFI outlet some where has tripped. That GFI is most likely in one of the baths. Reset.
