Hi, We have an old house that has some funky wiring in it. I have made a lot of improvements to the main rooms, but some of teh lesser used rooms I have yet to touch.
In any event one of these rooms has GFCI's as recepticals - the wiring is old and does not have a ground.
I plugged our AC (which on its plug has a GFCI) into one of these GFCI receptacals and turned it on.
The power in the room went out and the breaker for that room did not blow.
So, the GFCI's did not blow neither did the breaker but all power is out in that room.
I haven't taken a look yet as this happened late last night. I am assuming that the problem is somewhere between the plug and the breaker.
Perhaps in a junction box - is this a good assumption?
I will start by testing the wires in the receptacle.
