Temporarily run an extension cord to the 590 from a different, known working outlet. If the 590 turns on, the new circuit Has a problem. If it doesn't turn on, the 590 has a problem.While I was building outdoor kitchen I had my 590 unplugged for about 3 weeks. Completed kitchen now it won't power up. Any ideas?
Interesting. I have the RT-700 and it works fine on my GFCI. Maybe something else in the mix like flipped polarity?Temporarily run an extension cord to the 590 from a different, known working outlet. If the 590 turns on, the new circuit Has a problem. If it doesn't turn on, the 590 has a problem.
Also.......I spent part of yesterday "fixing" a problem with our two year old Samsung refrigerator In our kitchen. It was tripping the existing GFCI receptacle. The GFCI receptacles wear out over time, so I went and bought a new one and swapped it out.
The tripping problem was significantly worse with the new one. I finally just replaced the new GFCI with a non-GFCI receptacle. Problem solved. The refrigerator isn't close enough to a sink/water for it to be a problem.
If the new circuit has a GFCI circuit breaker or receptacle, it's probably tripped and needs to be reset. It also may be that the 590 will never play nice with a GFCI.......
Can you still buy a refrigerator, even two years ago, that doesn’t have a water line?The refrigerator isn't close enough to a sink/water for it to be a problem
And you should have a replacement in the same bag that the probes came in.That about the fuse. Where is it located?
I think GFCI's have become so sensitive that they are marginally compatible with the electronics in modern appliances.Interesting. I have the RT-700 and it works fine on my GFCI. Maybe something else in the mix like flipped polarity?
Oh, yeah, good point. I had forgotten about that.Can you still buy a refrigerator, even two years ago, that doesn’t have a water line?
Yes, all true.This is usually not a concern in outdoor outlets, but inside the house not all the outlets requiring GFCI protection (e.g: the kitchen) require a GFCI outlet. Code only requires only the first outlet in the stream to be GFCI. The downstream outlets are still protected by the first GFCI outlet. In an outdoor kitchen, you too may have downstream outlets (your grill is plugged into) that is protected by the GFCI outlet upstream.
Got one. You are right on with that suggestion.Buy one of these. Beats dragging a lamp or a hair dryer around........

I think it's already been said above, but look for a tripped GFI (GFCI) outlet.Got one. You are right on with that suggestion.
