Frequently asked questions

Why will my GFCI outlet not reset?

It may not have power, it may have failed, or it may be detecting a wiring, moisture, or ground-fault problem.

Can one GFCI make other outlets dead?

Yes. One GFCI can protect other outlets downstream, so a trip or failure can affect more than one location.

Should I replace the GFCI myself?

Because GFCI wiring protects people from shock hazards, it is best to have a licensed electrician diagnose the cause before replacing parts.

Are outdoor GFCI problems common in Florida?

Yes. Moisture, corrosion, pool equipment, landscape equipment, and weather exposure can all contribute to GFCI trips.

A GFCI That Will Not Reset Is Usually Protecting Against A Problem

A GFCI outlet may refuse to reset because of moisture, a failed device, wiring damage, a downstream problem, no power feeding it, or a ground fault that needs to be found.
