If you are comfortable with a screwdriver, and a volt/ohm meter, find out what outlets are on the circuit, turn the breaker off. Pull all of the outlets out of the boxes. Disconnect the black and whites from the GFCI outlet. Using the continuity setting on your electrical test meter, see if...

A general rule is as follows: Figure 180 VA (watts) per outlet. Using the formula P=IxE P=watts, I=amps and E=volts P=15ampsx120volts=1800VA, now divide 180VA into 1800VA and 10 is the general number that I put on a circuit. This will work the same for a 20 amp circuit as well. I recommend you...
