The master bath is powered downstream from it.


GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!
HA, now I don't feel like a big fool, or at least I'm in good company. A few years back we got new phones that wouldn't charge. We brought them back and they were replaced. When the new ones wouldn't charge either I had a feeling that there was something wrong with the outlet...sure 'nuff...no juice. Pressed the reset button and all was good again!! Took me a while to figure that out. Actually called an electrician friend wo "solved" the problem. We had a good laugh over it.
