My undersink duplex "disposer receptacle" is on the same circuit as two countertop receptacles, and I am pretty sure it is in a switchloop so no line hot in the box. I think this was allowed when out house was built in 1970. Of course, it has not had a disposer on the circuit since the original disposer died about 30 years ago. Out food scraps go into the garbage. | |

The GFCI that won't reset is likely a separate problem not even related to your countertop outlets. It indicates the device is not connected properly or has failed. | |
| Jul 8, 2023 at 16:36 | comment | added | Vince Hung | Thanks for your answers! I do see another circuit in the same area that controls dish washer, refrige and compressor. and there is a GFCI located at bottom of the sink and trash compressor is plugged into that outlet and it is working (see updated photo). however, GFCI shows tripped, and I am not able to reset it. I pressed reset and it kept tripping and when I turn off the circuit and turn it back on, it shows tripped right away. How is the GFCI in another circuit link to the outlets that I am having open neutral issue? I did check voltage between neutral-to-ground is 0. | |
