    Call the electrician back out and have him check the GFI circuit. Giving him the benefit of the doubt, it looks like that`s what he was getting at when he told you to plug into the bathroom.

    Could be a bad ground in the wiring (not totally uncommon with new construction). I know it`s frustrating, hope you get it solved.

    This post perfectly sums up why I havent logged onto facebook in a long time.

    One post by an ignorant fool (Maxine, not the person posting it), and the very next praising moms for using Lysol.

    Ugh.

    Good suggestion! I`d add picking up a circuit tester for those who don`t already own one:

    Such a simple tool for making sure your wiring has been correctly done or not.

    I don`t think there are more crazy people than there were years ago. The internet just gave them a megaphone. That and conformation bias combined with the echo chamber effect of social media and the broadcast infotainment "news" segmentation, it`s the perfect storm of people only talking to others that agree with them.

    Like rednecks having a `hold my beer` contest, dumb things are bound to happen.

    New house... They probably used the cheapest GFI hardware they could pass inspection with. Good luck.

    They may have put a lot of outlets on one circuit too. If the electrician says to put it in the bathroom outlet, it is because it is usually a 20A circuit and not many other outlets or lights on it.

    True

    Problem could also be improperly bonded neutral and ground. That can wreak havoc with GFCI breakers. ( if used )
