There's a basement, a first floor and a second floor. I have a house in Pittsburgh built in 1965. I will knock off each breaker and make a list of each outlet and light that goes out!! EXCELLENT idea !! Thank You for staying w/ me !! Very, very much appreciate you sharing your knowledge. and it comes on fine!!! I go back and get the volt meter and put the prongs in pos and neut and 120 shows up clean as she can be !!ĭo I replace GFCI breaker and all 3 outlets?Īnd again Gentleman. I am beginning to believe that the GFCI breaker might be failing? I put all my equipment away and go back to the bathroom and plug in the dryer to the bottom of the outlet. and neut and got readings but only short burst to 120 most 99 to 103, including bottom of outlet that the hair dryer would not work in. I decided to recheck each outlet, bathroom, front and back, all that are connected to the GFCI in the panel box. This outlet is also on the same GFCI breaker (all are regular outlets by the way. I tried switching several times back and forth just to check my sanity ! Nothing on the bottom at all. After the shower I tried to use the hair dryer and found it only worked in the top half of the outlet. Ready to eat crow on this site because I did not think that it was connected to the GFCI I breathed a sigh of relief that the problem was not a problem anymore, I decided to shower and relax. ![]() ![]() It now shows both lights lit which indicates "wired correctly" I flipped it off then back to full on and plug tester lit up. I went and checked it and saw it was half way. This time I showed nothing lighting at all !! I asked my wife if she had flipped the GFCI and she said she hadn't. you mentioned I should use the plug tester. Gentleman Thank You both for hanging in here w/me. ![]()
