2024-09-18 Read 175

Regular testing and maintenance of GFCI outlets is essential to ensure proper functionality. Here’s how to do it:

1. Monthly Testing: Press the “test” button on the outlet. If the power cuts off, the GFCI is working. Press the “reset” button to restore power.

2. Visual Inspection: Look for any signs of damage or wear and tear on the outlet.

3. Professional Inspection: If a GFCI outlet fails a test or doesn’t reset properly, consult a qualified electrician.
