Can one outlet gfci disable another in the home. Example: there are 2 gfci’s in a bathroom and one disables another or a kitchen gfci disables the exterior gfci’s.

The redundancy is not required but there is no rule that disallows it.


I usually recommend that the downstream GFCI receptacles be replaced with standard receptacles.

I believe a kitchen circuit is not to share with other rooms in the house.Maybe a sparkie will come to the rescue.

If my interpretation of NEC 210.52(B)(3) is correct, the general kitchen circuits can be part of the same circuit as other rooms (dining room, breakfast room, etc.), however, there are dedicated circuits required for the kitchen as well.

IRC E3603.2 corresponds with what Jeff posted as the NEC guidelines.


I do find that some exterior receptacles are connected to GFCI's either in baths, kitchens or garages but these homes are usually > 10 yrs. of age.
