Help with kitchen receptacle

[Camden]

I'm having trouble with 3 power outlets. In the kitchen layout photo, they are marked with 1, 2 and 3. After installing the 3 new outlets and turning the power back on, those 3 outlets stopped getting power to them, but all the other outlets in the kitchen are working. I have added a photo for each of the outlets. Does anyone have any suggestions or know how to get the 3 outlets to work and have power? Whenever I test the bare wires with a tester, there is no power in just those 3 outlets. Thanks for any suggestions or help

You have to check your wiring connections.
Get yourself a good old-fashioned sparky "professional electrician".
Once you have made corrections to your wiring outlets.
You're protecting three outlets downstream of the GFIC.
Load side of gfic neutral should not be shared with the other three outlets
The gfic will constantly be tripping that is exactly what happened to my neighbors.

Look where you initially tapped-in to the existing working power.
I assume this was just to one point and your new points are in parrallel on one circuit from there.
Your diagram is not decisive in that respect.

Other than that black Active, white Neutral and bare conductor Earth.

Take care earth conductor does not come into contact with any of the Active or Neutrals when outlet plate is screwed back. Probably best to sheath the bare earths with some green or better still green/yellow sheathing or at least tape.

NOTE that oven should be on it's own circuit, not with general power and the metal of any metalic wall box should also be earthed usually with a flexible tail from the outlet earth terminal.

X2 for above suggestion, get a licenced electrical contractor experienced and licenced in domestic/ commercial installations.

+1 for the licensed expert. You don't want to hassle with your insurance in case of a failure.

Check the GFCI outlet is not tripped, hit its 'reset'. Check the breaker feeding those 3 outlets is not tripped, cycle to off and on. Check with your voltmeter if the bare wires at your 3 outlets are now active or not.

I think Op needs to respond to my queries first given the connection arrangement used.
A few good clear photos of the origin connections and the actual layout ( first , second, third) would clarify a lot.
As it stands it appears point No.3 and the stove are on the one safety breaker along with other working points (refer one line diagram)
Points 2 and 1, who knows.

... and this

is imho not an acceptable PE connection.

is imho not an acceptable PE connection.

I imagined, as most installs, the 2 conductors are joined, or would be joined, at the connector on the outlet which would be acceptable in most countries.

@Bluejets : Generally I agree with your statement, but have a closer look:

The twist is the only joint of the 2 wires. And it is not even very tight. Then only one wire goes to the outlet. This doesn't look acceptable to me.

If you are using 3 GFIC outlets for this don't!
Only the outlet closest to the breaker box (electrically, not physically) needs to be GFIC.
Then "daisy chain" the remaining outlets to the the GFIC. By daisy chain, I mean you connect the wires to the next outlet to the downstream screw connections on the back of the outlet(s).
And don't use the Push In connections on the back of the GFIC (unless it has a screw to tighten it) using Push In connections are now illegal (in the USA)
Unless the breaker in the distribution panel is a GFIC circuit breaker, then you don't need ANY more GFICs on that circuit!
(They will "fight" each other)

EDIT: The one outlet you pictured has the proper type of Push In connector.
I am not an electrician, but I suspect the Island outlets will need their own Breaker Panel circuit (check with a licensed
electrician regarding National Electric Code (NEC) )

What a load of coblers.
As quoted, you are not a lecky, whereas I am.
As for the conne tions to any conductors, nonoe in the pic are yet done so comments are a a little too soon.
