A GFI circuit in my kitchen was recently tripped when the coffee maker and toaster were used at the same time (I'm assuming this was the cause). Since then I have tried to reset the circuit with limited sucess. I got the circuit to work a few times (holding the reset button for 1-2 minutes until the light went out) but it will blow out again if only one small electrical appliance was used. Could this be a case where the GFI outlet is bad and just needs replaced or is there some other cause I might be missing. The circuit in the electrical box does not trip. Thanks for any help.
