I've found and replaced several GFCIs that had gone bad. I think I may have found one that had failed and was still "live". But by far most fail and are dead.
Well the other day I was asked to check a receptacle that wasn't working while I was there to move a light.
I traced the receptacle's (non-GFCI) feed to a GFCI recep. on the same wall in the kitchen. The GFCI was working and hadn't tripped. But what I found was the load side had failed.
That was new to me.
Have any of you found one that failed this way?
