I would never have thought that the GFI outlet in my kitchen next to the sink would have anything to do with outlets in my living room and nook above the stairs, which is where I found out I had some dead outlets since my modem turned off. Initially I figured the modem had just died. Turns out all it was was a tripped GFI!
Wish I found out before I struggled to pull the refrigerator out from the wall so I could get it unplugged and into an outlet that worked. Still, good deal as I was leaving town and didn't want my house to catch fire if it was a loose connection or something fried.
