My GFI will not reset. Is there another way to check it to see if it is the GFI or another problem?

Unplug everything is one way. If it still won't reset it's easy enough to replace. They do go bad. TT

+1 If everything is disconnected and it won't reset then either it's bad (most likely) or you have a wiring fault. Easiest way to determine which is to disconnect from power and replace the GFCI receptacle. If it still wont stay on then it's the wiring, probably moisture in one of the GFCI protected receptacles. If you don't have easy access to a replacement GFCI receptacle for test purposes you could remove it and temporarily connect the downstream load receptacles to the line conductors coming in using wirenuts. Be sure to keep track of which pair of conductors are the line side and which the downstream load side., GFCI receptacles have line and load cinnection points.

Thanks. I have only 1 gfi that the other 3 outlets are on. All other 120v is working. I have had issues before with resetting but this time it will not. Buttons are hard to push.

It won't reset unless it has 120V, either.
