GFCI Outlet Replacement
Introdução
Ir para o passo 1The National Electrical Code and National Fire Protection Association requires that proper GFCI outlet receptacles need to be installed in places that have the danger of wetting the electronics (3’-6’ from source of the water). However, these receptacles were not widely installed in the buildings until the late 1990s. We believe this guide is necessary because it is a low-cost and effective repair that one can do. Electrical services can be expensive, but with our guide at your fingertips, you won’t need to call the property landlord or an electric company. Outlets are one of the most important features in any and every building. The guide will provide an easy 20 minutes steps that will make you safe from electrical shock and feel like an expert electrician.

If the GFCI outlet has two sets of white and black wires, keep track of them. One set will be coming from the breaker and plug into the LINE labeled screws, and the other set (labeled LOAD on the GFCI) goes to other “downstream” outlets that also benefit from the GFCI outlet's protection.
Thank you! This was very helpful. I hired a certified electrician who I thought was going to do the work himself. Instead, he dropped off a crew of three non-English speakers to do the work. They screwed up the power to my kitchen doing substandard work in the garage. They left before I got back to the house, realized what they did, but the electrician’s response was, “It wasn’t me!” The kitchen lights were working properly BEFORE they did the work. I wish I had never hired this guy. He has only positive ratings on one of the “ratings” services, unfortunately.
