[sudo-discuss] [omni-discuss] All kitchen appliances moved to Sudo, due to kitchen electrical issue

[Steve Bloom]

Ah, OK.  I've seen GFIs seem to do that, but there may well have been
something else involved.  That said, it should still be confirmed that
there's a GFI on that circuit.  In fact, given the unknown wiring
conditions in the kitchen area I would suggest a GFI breaker in the panel
even if there is one visible in the kitchen.
