Thank you everyone for your suggestions. I have tried resetting it without success. I will check the fuse box later today.

Did you try resetting it?

most likely -- check the breaker in the box that controls it. you may need to unplug items before it will work again.
if unplugging everything on the circuit that isn't working doesn't fix the breaker issue, then an electrician is needed. breakers in the box can and do go bad and need replacing. That isn't a task for the ordinary homeowner. [of course, if you're a tenant it's the landlord's problem at that point]

That' button' is the ground fault interruptor. It will pop out when that circuit breaker has been tripped. The rest button is meant to save you from having to go to the house's electrical box to reset the circuit breaker. When the rest button will not reset, first, check the electrical box to see if the circuit there was tripped. If it was, reset it and see what happens. Push the test button and then the rest button. If it soesn't reset, then the unit should be replaced.
