WOW! Thank YOU ALL! Hubby went to the garage and found the reset button on one of the outlets, ... it was out, and he pushed it in, to reset ...VOILA! MUCH appreciated! ( He washed the house two days ago, and because of the info given, it brought us to the conclusion that YOU ALL ROCK!!!!!!!!!! Thanks! Debi !

OK, if he washed the house on the outside, he probably got water behind the receptacles. Make sure there is adequate caulk around them to seal out water.

Any leads for someone who would be able to help us fix this problem? Thanks!
check your outlets in line with the GFI - it happened on ours and the circuit breaker was off due to GFI.

They are easy to spot as they have a red indicator light that if trip is glowing red.
Just push the button that is sticking up and it will rest.

Looking at a new home in Fernandina, there were about six to eight GFCI circuit breakers in the panel box each with a white reset button. None of the GFCI outlets had the traditional resets on the outlet--FYI. The GFCI outlets can be very tempermental, or maybe it's just the ones made in China.
