Dead GFI receptacle- other outlets on circuit fine
A bathroom receptacle suddenly stopped working. It was a GFCI, and resetting it did nothing. No other outlets seem to be affected, no breaker was thrown. I removed the GFCI and measured the voltages (Fluke 175).
With the breaker on:
Hot-GND: 5.6 V
Hot-Neu : 0.9 V
Neu-GND: 4.7 V
With the breaker off:
Hot-GND: 3.9 V
Hot-Neu : 0.6 V
Neu-GND: 3.3 V
Any ideas on what could be wrong/how to fix this?

Welcome to the forums.
Basically with those measurements you are lacking your 120vac hot line.
Did you have your meter set to AC voltage..... not DC voltage ?
You will need to determine what else is on that circuit. If the problem is not there then it is at the last working device before that one.
