GFCI outlet trouble

[jackholden]

Two electrical outlets on one wall just stopped working. One is a GFCI that won't reset. Nothing was plugged into it at the time of the outage, but a microwave was plugged into the other outlet. My question: Does it make any sense to replace the GFCI outlet? Thanks for your help.

Have you tried unplugging the microwave and seeing if the GFCI will reset? I'd do that before replacing anything.

Yes, I unplugged it and the GFCI won't reset. It doesn't snap or anything. Just goes in and comes back out, with no results.

well I am assuming that you checked the breaker? I would replace both recpts. This way you can check all the wiring and make sure all connections are tight.

ok. I'll try that. Thanks for your help.
