So, how the heck did people in New Hampshire manage to live without a 20-amp/gfci in their kitchen ....
And, you can always run an extension cord out to the lake to power up your boat lift motor for lowering and raising your 4000-lb, 22' boat! .... ..... and swim there, at the boat lift, in complete safety, knowing it is gfci protected! .... |
Still trying to think of a normal/common portable kitchen appliance that would pull 20 AMPs or even have a 20 AMP plug,,, Still coming up empty.
As for the GFCI and safety receptacles/outlets, personally they are nothing but a new age waste of money. Never used one of the new safety outlets that worked properly, and GFCI is far too sensitive, the damn things pop constantly. Not progress not better, just typical over engineered namby-pamby hand holding for the bubble wrap society we have created. Drive everyones costs up and give then nothing but headaches for their good deeds of conforming.
I think if you lived and long and full life and died before the year 2000, you lived a better existence and enjoyed it far more. This Amazon/Google/extreme coddling world is going to be our undoing,,,
Clearly I am totally off track, in need of more caffeine, and should stop typing!
Hope the repair goes well, love to see any home owner who can tackle basic stuff like this without having to spend $200. Absolutely call in a pro when needed and dont bother them when you can fix it with a screwdriver in 5 minutes and no real technical knowledge or skill is needed.
