GCFI plug does not power appliances. I checked the receptacle with a multimeter and the hot wire and ground produce a circuit, the neutral and ground produce a circuit, but the hot and neutral do not produce a circuit. What would cause this?
Nuetral and ground should not produce a circuit. Only hot to ground or hot to nuetral. Try a voltage meter That shows actual readings or numeric values. But it soounds like the nuetral has come disconnected somewher before the gfci
The answer to my question provided the solution. I traced the circuit and found that a neutral wire was loose in one of the recepticles before the bathroom outlets. When I corrected that, the bathroom outlets worked again.
Better have it checked through electrical test equipment. Rent these materials to know the real cause.
