Well, start with the most likely, i.e. connections at GFCI. You don't need
to break any tiles for this. Remove the old GFCI. Disconnect all 3 wires
from the other end at the breaker / fuse box. Use an ohm-meter on all 3
wires. (Will require an additional test wire from box to kitchen.)

Note: To protect ohm-meter, check for voltage before checking for
continuity.

V. Good point. Always check for voltage first.

There should be no voltage.

Just one amendment. If the most likely location is teh connection at
the GFCI, then there will be voltage there one the wires.

Also, it's probably not necesary to remove the wires to check each for
voltage, unless the connections are backstabbed and there is no wire
showing, only insulation.
