Got a real puzzle for ya this time. Shortly after resetting the GFI for the stbd systems, we noticed that the galley systems were out, including the coffee maker. :smt089
Tried to reset the GFI in the corner cabinet, but it's buttons wouldn't work. Thinking it was defective, I replaced it, but the new one wouldn't work either. Using a simple circuit tester, I was able to tell that I had power in both black wires, BUT only one of the two white neutrals was completing the circuit. The outlet itself, along with the galley systems, was still offline.
I really fear the worst as far as a repair goes. How can that one white wire be traced and repaired without ripping out the whole galley? Could there be an easier fix? I just can't figure out how something that never moves and never gets any wear-and-tear can completely fail like this. Could this have anything to do with the stbd systems GFI popping? Any ideas?
Thanks.
