    GFCI electrical outlet

    Our GFCI electrical outlet quit working in the bathroom.There is no reset button on the plug,checked the fuse box and everything is as
    should be.
    What other way is there to reset these or maybe I should just replace it with the reset type.

    Look in the kitchen and in the basement, anywhere there is an outlet. The bathroom outlet is most likely downstream from the GFCI outlet that tripped.

    A GFCI circuit typically has one receptacle with the reset and test button (which is the actual GFCI) that In turn has several regular receptacles connected in parallel that it protects. You need to find the main GFCI and resent it. You should not try to replace one of the regular receptacles with a second GFCI in one circuit. The tripped GFCI can be some distance away from the receptacle that is dead.
