Workiing on trying to figure out why my grandmothers dishwasher wasn't working. Outlet under the sink both had power. In the process of troubleshooting, found a tripped GFCI and thought that was part

Several things here. Don't worry about finding a single outlet GFCI. I've never seen one, but that doesn't mean they don't exist any more.The two outlets are connected in parallel, so just plug what

Well, what's really confusing me is that I thought about it being hooked up backwards too, so I swapped the wires around. It's behaving as if both wires are line wires. When both wires are hooked up,

Make sure that the black and white wires that you have connected to each side are in the same cables. If you have them crossed (black from line and white from load together, etc.), and there is somet

When in doubt, buy a new one. In the last year I have had to replace three GFCIs in my house because the test button no longer did anything. Maybe only the test button itself was bad and they were ac

I agree entirely. But if you wanted to find out, it would be easy enough to rig a dummy plug with a leak to safety ground in it. Start with a replacement 3-prong plug from HD and add a 10-15K 1 watt

I like the build-your-own idea. I have an older 3-light tester without the GFCI test function, and I have been too cheap to buy a new one just to get that additional functionality... Doug ___________

It's worth pointing out that an external tester will not work on a GFCI that's connected to a two-wire circuit. That's allowed by code most places, and it's often used to get three pronged outlets in

Sure it will, if you do the current balance test to an external ground (or even between a protected neutral and an unprotected hot). Checking the ground/neutral short detection function should work

The external testers I've seen are all self containted. Plug them in, push a button, and they trip the GFCI. No choice about where to direct the leakage current. -- David Scheidt dmscheidt@gmail.com

All it takes is a 2-wire to 3-wire adapter. Plug the tester into the adapter, then run the wire from the adapter to an external ground. Randall _______________________________________________ Suppor
