Hello,I'm hoping someone can answer this question I have. I have a circuit in my kitchen that includes three standard elec. receptacles each separated by a GFI. The problem is when I plug anything into either GFI it trips the GFI and the breaker.I have used a GFI tester and it says the GFIs are wired correctly and in proper working order. What should I do now? Any info would be helpful. Thanks

| I suspect, you have a short in the GFI. Can you smell something burned at the outlet? Regardless, The GFI needs to be replaced. An electrician can do this in minutes.

| ITS NOT THE GFI. REMOVE THE GFI & INSTALL STANDARD OUTLET,CHECK CIRCUIT WITH VOLT METER FOR PROPER WIRING. INSTALL NEW GFI
