The switching have been tripping a lot at my apartment, sometimes an entire wall is completely powerless, but the rest of the rooms are just fine.

For example, I don't know what "Range" means, I know that "GFI" means Ground Fault Interrupter, but I don't know if it helps at all to turn the switch on/off

Any clarification will be greatly appreciated!
