Gentlemen:
My wife has been complaining about the TR receptacles & GFIs in the kitchen and bath for about two years now.
Not an every day complaint,but enough times over the two years. I replaced two 20 amp GFIs with Leviton units and that seems to help. I replaced the bath GFI with a P&S 20 amp that I got as a 'sample'; that lasted one night only.
BTW,the kitchenis 'Almond' and all almond is not created equal.
I had a few instances doing inspections where I could not get a bug-eye tester into a GFI, and the Ideal Inspector would not plug-in either. Electrician tried; same results. He replaced it & all aws well.
IMHO, quality control may be an issue.
I'll add my voice to your cause Reno; these things are a PITA.
