Common questions
Can I just keep resetting it?
Reset it once. If it trips again, leave it off and have the circuit checked. Repeated resets can hide a real problem.
Half my outlets are dead but no breaker tripped. Why?
Check for a tripped GFCI outlet (bathroom, kitchen, garage, outdoors) and press reset. If that's not it, book a troubleshooting visit.
