Wrong. It’s voodoo.
We’ve had the problem before where a tripped GCMI outlet knocks a bunch of other things on the same circuit offline. Called my handyman, he identified the problem, and the next time it happened, we fixed it ourselves. The culprit was a wall outlet in our guest bathroom, of the back hallway. Apparently a blow dryer in the bathroom tripped the outlet, and it shut down our washer and dryer out in the laundry room.
