Had an interesting issue this morning. We are away for the long weekend on the boat and first thing this morning I started to make a cup of coffee. As soon as I hit the start button, I lost 120v power to the coffee maker. I started to investigate thinking I tripped a GFCI and noticed I had no power at any outlets. The GFCI in the galley would not reset. I don't have a meter with me so I couldn't test the breaker at the panel. All other 120v systems were operating normally. Since everything had been fine up to that point, I thought I'd take a shot at replacing the GFCI in the galley since the "general store" here on the island actually had one. Sure enough it was bad and all is back to normal. I've heard and read a lot of stories here and elsewhere about finding the hidden GFCI that needs reset but not seen a lot about the actual outlet going bad. Just tossing this out there if anyone has a similar issue. 5 minutes and we're back in business! One other odd note. My outlet in the cabinet in the head is NOT a GFCI. I was very surprised by that and guess the previous owner must had done that. I'm certain it was a GFCI from the factory. Have a great weekend everyone!
