    I just replaced the GFCI, I connected the line, the load, and the ground correctly, it shows to have power on both outlets, but it wont reset. What else could be the problem?

    QUESTION: The GFCI in my bathroom still has power; however, the "Reset" button recent tripped and is now extended outward. The "Test" button remains pressed in. But, every time I press the "Reset" button back in, the "Reset" button presses itself back out. I tried pressing every button in the Circuit Box; however, nothing fixed the problem. Do you have any advice? If I need to replace the GFCI, should I do so with one that is 15 Amps or 20 Amps?

    Work in research lab and in the NFPA 70 handbook over many years have shown that wrapping conductors around the screw with the plate on top is the securest method and avoids poor connections which is subject to arcing and heat. You can see some heat damage around the stab in connections at the back those plates holding the conductors in your receptacle they also weaken over time and often are not seated properly by people in the first place.

    The wiring in my residence is "uncommon" and I recently purchased the Klein circuit finder to help me with rewiring several circuits and adding some dedicated circuits (microwave & refrigerator). The circuit finder has been helpful. Wish I had it when I helped some people properly label their service panels as it definitely saves time.

    I checked The panel And nothing shows Up as a breaker.

    Just had 4 outlets in my kitchen quit working - one of them is a GFCI outlet and it won't reset. The breaker is on on the box. I've turned the breaker on/off with no luck. Could it be a bad GCFI outlet that needs replacing?

    I have a Gfci receptacle in a bathroom that trips often and not sure what is causing it to trip. When I reset it, I can feel that it is warm to the touch. I checked the temperature and it reads about 100 degrees vs. 89/92 of the surrounding wall which backs up to an attic. Is this an indication it is bad needs replacing or maybe other problems? I plan on purchasing the tools to check as you have shown. Thanks for the video and instructions.

    Very cool tool. I noticed that was a 15 amp CFGI outlet on a 20 Amp circuit. Does it have to be a 20 amp outlet or not??
