Why Does My GFCI Outlet Keep Tripping Randomly Without Load?
A GFCI can trip with “no load” due to moisture, a downstream ground fault, wiring errors, or a failing device. In Denver homes, humidity in bathrooms/kitchens, outdoor outlets, or a shared neutral can cause nuisance trips. Power surges after outages can also trip GFCIs. Test monthly and after power failures.
Quick checks:
- Plug a lamp in and turn it on.
- Press TEST. If the light stays on, it’s miswired or bad; call Brothers.
- Press RESET. If the light stays off, replace the GFCI.
