My wife's hair drier has stopped working in our bathroom. It is a 15amp circuit. It did not have a gfci plug in the bathroom. House was built in 1982. It has a gfci outlet on the same circuit in the garage for some reason. When I replaced the old outlet in the bathroom with a gfci one the hair drier still does not work (although a curling iron and my shaver do). I thought it might be the hairdrier but it works in another outlet my microwave is on (but not others for some reason). I am going to take out the gfci outlet in the garage (don't think 2 on same circuit is correct) and put in a regular outlet. When I tripped the gfci in the garage no power goes to the bathroom which would not protect us from shock in the bathroom correct?
I will followup and check this thread later.....any help will be great. Thanks.
