Will watch it later. Thanks for posting this.

Agreed. Spoke to his office manager as he's on jobs, today, but will ask him what he likes. I trust his judgement. Obviously, he doesn't want callbacks for early problems.

Here are pics of the pump/basin. For the record, pump is at least 12 yrs old. I can see breaches in the power cord. Will replace. I wish I had the joint health to get in there but a plumber that I work with will install. Great guy. I used him in the past and he's local. After some basic...

I'll try...it's a little cramped in that box. I'm 6-2 and bad arthritis but I'll give it a shot later tonight. It'd be great if it's just a loose connection👍

Unfortunately, it's a bad pump. I plugged in multiple devices and GFCI did not trip. However, I like your suggestion about moving the GFCI outside the box. That way, at a glance, I'll see the status vs not knowing if it's live or not. I'll do that before I get the new pump. Now, I just...

Understood; thx

Good point you bring up. Would it make more sense to NOT have a GFCI on a pump so it can run when needed or let the GFCI protect your circuit to warn you of a possible pump issue/impending failure? I guess, like @dave*99 said, get the one that's audible, is the smart move.

Hope you're right. I'll plug in some items, including my heat gun, and pray it trips on everything. Already have a new GFCI as a backup. I shudder to think if we got like 6-8 in. of rain while it was tripped. I'd have rats and gators in my basement. And turds🤣

I figured once I posted pics, you guys would see something that I overlooked. 20 pairs of eyes, etc.

If it wasn't for all you guys suggestions, I would still be pulling out my hair chasing gremlins. I'm glad it happened, tho, because I learned a lot about troubleshooting and to not overlook anything. As soon as I read "is there anything in that box under the printer?*, I said "mfer, the...

Funny you say that. Googled about pump trips and people said it's almost mandatory where they live with so much rain and poor drainage.

Can't sleep so I popped the cover on the sump box. Sure enough, the GFCI powering the pump is tripped. Unplugged the pump. reset the breaker and now have full power to everything downstream. Now, I just need to address the pump power because as soon as I plug it back in, GFCI trips and can't...

You know, I just realized that the box with my printer houses my sump pump. I probably would never had thought to look there. Just got home and need to sleep but I will check that, tomorrow. Also, that open door above the panel only has a water shutoff valve for my hose bib.

I'll do that. I gotta go out but I'll check them tomorrow AM. Appreciate it.

Thank you; I'm ******* but will verify soon. And yes, all downstream are dead. Really appreciate everyones help.
