I was using a hair dryer when my gfci tripped. It wouldn't reset, so I replaced the gfci, but the new one also doesn't work and won't reset. I have unhooked everything and tested the line wires coming into the receptacle and they appear to be dead. The odd thing is that the breaker seems to be fine as the lights connected to this breaker still work.
It is a gfci breaker, but as I said, lights on this breaker continue to work, so I don't think it's the breaker (but perhaps I don't understand gfci breakers). There are no other gfci outlets on this breaker either.
I've seen some suggestions that it might be a burnt up bad connection and I'll start poking around. Anything else?
