Bring a dead outlet back with the GFCI reset
Bathroom or kitchen outlet stopped working? A safety outlet nearby probably tripped.
- Look for an outlet with TEST and RESET buttons. It may be in another room on the same circuit: bathroom, kitchen, garage or outside.
- Press RESET firmly until it clicks.
- If it won't reset or trips again right away, unplug everything on that circuit and try again. If it still trips, call an electrician.
- Once a month, press TEST (power should cut), then RESET.
