GFCI Replacement

This replacement turned out to be a “head scratcher" as it wasn’t obvious why our replacement GFCI wouldn’t reset.

In many homes, necessary circuit breakers and GFCIs are already installed, but they can stop working unexpectedly, so it is important to know how to replace GFCI outlets when this happens. GFCIs should be tested monthly to ensure they are providing protection. Press the TEST button, then the RESET button. If the indicator light does not go out and come back on, or if the GFCI cannot be reset, it must be replaced.  
Safety: Don’t use a GFCI outlet as a receptacle for a refrigerator or a freezer, as it could trip without your knowledge.
