DIY
Want to put a GFCI outlet on a circuit. Currently, this circuit is free of any other outlets or switches. Purchased an Eaton 15-Amp Tamper Resistant Weather Resistant GFCI Residential Decorator Outlet at Lowes. Installed according to manufacturer's instructions. Plugged in a coffee maker and no power. If I take readings off the sides of the outlet where the wires install, I get 123V, but if I take a reading from the plug-in slots, no reading. Is it possible this is a bad outlet and is there a way to check it? Neither of the lights are lit up (EOF or trip indicator), and I've tried the reset button to no avail. I took a known good standard outlet and put it on this circuit and it works fine.
