We lost power to several outlets after starting the coffee maker

Do you know where the sub-panel is located? One of those breakers may be tripped.

On the 399th the sub-panel is under the bottom step. No kidding! See

SandraScot Yes look for that sub panel. When I saw that breaker that was the first thing I thought of.

@Cate&Rob - We looked and no GFCI in the sink area, can't find one anywhere in the kitchen.

Another place to check for a GFCI outlet is in the basement storage area on both sides.

SandraScot, If your 395 is wired anything like mine then there is only one resettable GFCI outlet and it is in the front bathroom. All the other GFCI outlets are downline and protected by this outlet, but in what sequence is anybody's guess. It may be that the coffee pot receptacle is the first in line and when it went, all the receptacles downline from it lost power, too. Or it may be that the GFCI receptacle was not wired in correctly and when it tripped, the jumper for the downline power was fried.

Not sure what you meant by "The only GFCI resets that I've seen are in the bathroom, tried to reset but no luck.". I'll assume that you were able to reset the GFCI, but still didn't have power to the downline receptacles, but did have power at the GFCI receptacle. Either way, my recommendation is to get replacement receptacles for both the resettable GFCI receptacle and the coffee pot receptacle. While at the store, and if you don't already have them, pick up a multi-tester, a plug-in circuit tester with GFCI test function and a proximity tester. These will be very useful in the future.

Start by replacing the replacing resettable GFCI receptacle being very careful to make sure the incoming and outgoing power wires are connected to the correct pairs of terminals, and that the white and black wires are connected to the correctly colored terminals. Determining which wires are the incoming power is where the multi-tester and/or the proximity tester comes into play. Be very careful with this step as the wires will have current in them. Then turn off the breaker before connecting the receptacle.

If replacing the resettable GFCI receptacle seems to solve the issue, it will be your call on whether to replace the coffee pot receptacle. Before calling the task done, go to each receptacle downline of the resettable GFCI receptacle with the circuit tester and make sure that they are wired correctly and trip the GFCI.
