Hello Electrical Experts!
I was posting in another part of the forum about my kitchen and how DH & I decided to open the soffit and pull everything apart, so that we can move the cabinets up higher.
Please see pics here:
Kitchen - What have we got ourselves into? Right now, the problem is that DH added a new outlet, the single one on the left side. He also updated the double outlet on the right with GFCIs. As of this AM, only the new outlet and the 2 outlets on the right side of the double outlet are working.
When DH first started looking at it all, he realized that they ("they" being whoever originally did the electric) had the wires coming up from the basement, by the laundry room, into the one outlet, into the other outlet, back down, and back up to run over to the fridge. He said they were using it as a junction box. So he added a new box, I guess to use as a junction, then rewired everything. I'm not sure if he knows why the other 2 outlets aren't working now. He's not an electrician, he's an office worker with a little knowledge about a lot of stuff.
