Can I install a GFCI outlet myself safely and correctly?

Yes, you can install a GFCI yourself, but it must be wired on the correct line/load and tested. If you’re unsure or any test fails, call a licensed electrician in Denver. Errors near water can be dangerous.

Quick GFCI test:

1. Plug a lamp into the outlet and turn the lamp on.
2. Press the GFCI’s test button. Did the light go out? If not, the GFCI is not working or has not been correctly installed. Contact Brothers to correct the wiring and/or replace the defective GFCI.
3. Press the reset button. Did the light come back on? If not, contact Brothers to replace the GFCI.
