ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
G.F.C.I. Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter receptacle plugs
Suggestion: Most homeowners do not test their GFCI receptacle plugs, as they should monthly to prevent a shock hazard. The manufacturers on their packaging recommend it. GFCI receptacle plugs are known to stick on the internal components if not tested periodically.
Definition: Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter. A GFCI receptacle plug will have two buttons on the front of it with the words “test” and “reset” and it continuously monitors the circuit for any voltage leaks that may cause a shock hazard near water. In the event of this, it should shut off the receptacle plug or circuit that it is protecting.
Testing GFCI plugs:
• Simply press the "TEST" button on the GFCI receptacle plug while using a receptacle plug polarity tester plugged into the outlet or any general appliance such as a radio.
• You should hear a “snap” noise as the device interrupts the circuit and the "RESET" button should pop out.
• The appliance or receptacle tester lights should shut off.
• If none of these things occur, than there is a default with the GFCI receptacle plug or it is not wired properly and it should be repaired or replaced immediately.
• When finished testing simply push the “RESET” button to put the receptacle plug back in working operation.
Caution: GFCI receptacle plugs can control other receptacle plugs throughout the home. So, if you ever experience a regular receptacle plug that is not in operation, it may be controlled by a GFCI.
