    Jacuzzi jets not functioning... GFCI issue?
    I recently moved into a house with a jacuzzi tub in the bathroom and the jets aren't working. There is a faceless GFCI in the wall by the tub that shows a red light that can be turned off when resetting that particular GFCI. There is also another standard GFCI outlet near the counter (to plug in hairdryers, etc.) that appears to be broken--not only does nothing work when plugged into this outlet regardless of whether its reset, but the rest button is actually physically damaged.

    I'm wondering if the jacuzzi jets not working could be related to this other damaged GFCI outlet, and if so, is it possible that simply replacing the broken GFCI outlet could fix all my troubles.

    FYI - the circuit breaker (which is in the basement) checks out, so I know that's not the issue.

    Thanks for your help

    The red light would indicate a bad or no power GFCI. What is a "Faceless" GFCI?
