When an outlet in your home stops working, sometimes all you need to do is reset the GFCI outlet!
What is a GFCI outlet?
A GFCI outlet is an important safety feature in your home that helps to prevent electrical shock. Sometimes, if there’s an overworked electrical circuit, the GFCI outlet trips itself and all other outlets in its circuit. These outlets are typically found in your kitchen, bathroom, and garage.
How to reset the outlet:
It’s easy! All GFCI outlets have a reset button (typically red) in the upper center of the outlet. Find the GFCI outlet near the outlet that tripped. You will be able to tell the problem outlet because the red reset button will have popped out. As a safety precaution, unplug your appliances before pushing the red reset button back in. Once you push the reset button back into place, you can plug your appliances back in!
