7. Solución de problemas
| Problema | Posible causa | Solución |
|---|---|---|
| El GFCI no se reiniciará. | No power to the GFCI; GFCI is miswired (LINE/LOAD reversed); Internal fault; Downstream ground fault. | Check circuit breaker. Verify LINE/LOAD wiring. If miswired, correct immediately. Unplug all devices from the GFCI and any downstream outlets, then try to reset. If it still won't reset, replace the GFCI. |
| El GFCI se dispara con frecuencia. | Ground fault in connected appliance; Ground fault in downstream wiring/outlets; Moisture in circuit. | Unplug appliances one by one to identify the faulty device. Inspect wiring for damage or moisture. If the problem persists, consult an electrician. |
| No power from GFCI, but RESET button is in. | No power to the GFCI; Internal fault. | Check circuit breaker. Test the GFCI (press TEST, then RESET). If it doesn't respond, the GFCI may be faulty and needs replacement. |
| LED Pilot Light is off. | GFCI is tripped; No power to the GFCI; LED malfunction. | Press RESET. Check circuit breaker. If the GFCI functions but the LED remains off, the LED may be faulty, but the GFCI protection should still be active. |
