Is it ok to have 2 GFICs in series, or will it affect the operation of them?
I have a Jacuzzi tub that has a GFIC near the motor. There was no access panel on the motor side and I planned on putting one in at a later date (well after the bathroom reno). Well the GFIC there died, we have a front access panel that I was able to reach through and put a tester into it and found no power, and playing with the test and reset buttons did nothing. Went almost a year without the Jacuzzi during which time I decided to pull the Jacuzzi wire from the panel and connect it through a GFI next to the electrical panel with the thoughts that if it happens again I can easily replace the GFIC. A few months after that my wife said "what is that noise" I went to check it out and the Jacuzzi had come on and has been working now for a few months. I made an access panel behind the Jacuzzi and can now remove the second GFIC in the circuit.....or I can leave it until it dies again. Should I remove it? And how can I GFIC quit working and then start working again?
