My son lives in a 100+ yr old house with wiring brought up to mid 60's code. About 8 years ago I added another outlet to a dedicated circuit for a freezer. The freezer is long gone and that space is used for different stuff. I put a GFI outlet on the added box as it it within reach of the kitchen sink (if you have long arms). Recently, the GFI tripped and would not reset. My son replaced the GFI thinking it was toast. Still no change. I looked at it and realized he had hooked it up wrong, I put another one in. Same thing. Now I have figured out that only pops when the outlet is touching the metal box. The ground is attached to the outlet, so the box is only attached to the wall. Anyone have any ideas? I am about to start checking back up the line to see if anyone has re-wired something.
This on has me stumped.
