How to Reset the GFCI
The age old " If the light is on, the GFCI is tripped" is the most common way to tell if a fault has occurred , but there are some out there that if the light is on then it is set properly. Most of these style plugs are located where the lights are , especially if it is around a pool area or any location that water may come in contact with the outlet.
One thing to note: If all of your lights have gone out and they are not plugged into a GFCI outlet or if ANY outlets have tripped inside or outside your house that one could have caused the outage because they have been on the same circuit. Outlets in newer built homes tend to be in the garage or bathroom more times than they are outside.
How- To Reset the Outlet :
1) Push in the TEST Button which will reset the circuit after a fault.
2) Push in the RESET Button and you will hear a click meaning it has been reset.
If the RESET button will not stay pushed in check all the circuits at the breaker box to make sure they are on. If they all are on that means that the GFCI may have gone bad and you need an electrician to replace it.
The most common way GFCI trips occurs is when it rains, but during the holiday season it is normally caused from the outlet being overloaded with holiday lights. Our suggestion for holiday lights is to add extension cords where needed to spread out the load of lights to different circuits.
