You must replace GFCI outlets when they stop working or if they malfunction. All GFCI outlets have a Test button (black) and a Reset button (red). You can test your GFCI outlets by pressing the Test button. This should turn off the flow of electricity to the outlet. Next, plug in a small appliance like a nightlight and press the Reset button. If the nightlight still turns on, there is a problem with the GFCI outlet. You should test your GFCI outlets once a month. If you notice any issues, call our team to make an appointment to replace a GFCI outlet. You can try to figure out how to replace a GFCI outlet yourself, but you risk electric shock, electrocution, and property damage or a malfunctioning outlet.
