Why did the outside weatherproof outlet quit working?
This outlet is GFCI protected and located in the weather proof cover on the outside of the home. Sometimes a GFCI outlet in the garage will power an outside outlet. Remember that if the inoperable outlet is up high, such as a Christmas eave outlet, there is often a switch for them. The switch needs to be in the “on” position in order for the outlet to work. Weatherproof outlets are not dedicated outlets; they are easily overloaded by outside appliances such as electric garden tools.
