Holy hell
No doubt "the beast"
On further inspection you may need to have another meter installed

Recently bought an older house
I didn't see it mentioned (though I might have missed it), but that screams fuse to me, especially if you haven't figured it out yet.

And sorry rag 93 for the thread jack, if ya still need help jump in


Thread really took off in my absence

Thanks for all the responses and help. Thought I'd update the thread once we figured out the problem.

Handyman and I fumbled around for a while and came to the same conclusion that either there was another GFCI outlet or another breaker/box fuse panel in the house that we couldn't find. We were thinking out loud and sure enough about that time my clueless wife walks by and says nonchalantly "oh yeah, there's a little panel hidden inside one of the spare closets" MOTHER frickER.

So just like Clyde said about his home in Shreveport, there was a fuse box hidden in a closet in the spare bedroom that we never saw. Checked the fuses, found the burnt one, and replaced for $2.00

Find the breaker feeding it and mark it for the next owner.

Spent 2+ hours over two days trying to figure it out and it took her all of 3 seconds to unwittingly solve the problem. Standard.
