And I'm not technical about it either. We recently had 3 kitchen outlets that stopped working. Neither of the 3 appeared to be "ground fault" (no button on them to push). We checked the circuit breaker box and none of them had "flipped off". We were at the point of calling an electrician when our son came to visit. He immediately started looking for a ground fault outlet and found it hidden behind a mixer between the range and refrigerator. It had "flipped off" and once he flipped it back, all outlets were working!

I'd suggest you look for the nearest ground fault outlet and try flipping that!

Good luck!
