Hi, I have a question about a problem I have encountered. All the
receptacles in 2 of my upper bedrooms stopped working, after I checked the
breaker had tripped in the main fuse box. It worked a few times after I
turned the fuse back on but now tonight I cannot get the fuse to work (keeps
tripping). When I checked my ensuite the Ground Fault Protector (maybe
called something else) is not working, when I press "test" the "reset"
button does not come out so that I can in fact reset it. Would this cause
all the outlets on that circuit not to work or just the outlet by the sink?
If it is all of the outlets is this Ground Fault Protector easy to change?

Thanks in advance.

If the GFI is on the dead circuit the one with the tripped breaker you
will NOT be able to reset it.

Go around check EVERY OUTLET in your home and unplug everything thats
plugged into a dead outlet, then try restetting breaker

something plugged in like a lamp is likely shorted
