Because GFCI outlets serve such a vital purpose, it's a good idea to test all GFCIs in your home each month. Thankfully, the testing process is something you can easily do on your own—no call to an electrician necessary! Here's how we recommend testing your GFCIs:
- Press the "test" button—this will pause the electrical flow.
- Plug a night light or another small device into the outlet. This device should be something that uses very little electricity.
- Check to see if the device is working—if the test button functions correctly, power should no longer flow to the device.
- Push the "reset" button to restore power.
