You received several pieces of goof advise. I have had GFCI problems since the house was brand new. One GFCI can also afect a GFCI elsewhere in the house which makes it tough to sort out. Our house has one of the screwiest wiring paths I have ever seen. I'd like to get my hands on the guy that did the wiring ! Due to putting a outlet on my lawn light pole to power a flag pole light, which has to be a GFCI, I only complicated the situation. When I have a problem the first thing I do is check that GFCI regardless of where the problem seems to be. In recent weeks I have become on a first name basis with an electrician... he'll probably qualify as a dependent based on my support. My house is a ripe ole 2.5 years old, so I have walked in your shoes.
