GFCI Receptacle Tripping Problems
I powerwashed my house yesterday and now my gfci receptacle keeps
tripping off every time I turn my lights on in our bathroom. Any thoughts on the problem causing this and how to correct it in a safe manner? When I hit reset the bathroom light will stay on for a minute or two at most before the GFCI receptable gets tripped and shuts it down. |

Your bathroom receptacles are sharing GFCI with outside receptavles? Yes, I believe my bathroom receptacles share gfci with ones in the garage. Any thoughts? Thanks for trying to help me. |

Dry out whatever outdoor outlets you soaked. He might want to run out and buy a "multi-pac" of GFCIs and put a separate GFCI on each outlet rather than having the first of a string do the job. That way even if he gets moisture problems only one outlet will be affected. |

As others have said, you got water in the outside outlets which seem to be
on the same GFCI circuit. I would replace the outside outlets and caulk with silicone around them as well. wrote in message ups.com...

One exception I've seen is an indoor GFCI that controls an outdoor outlet on the other side of a wall. It makes it easy to control holiday lights from inside. -- 13 days until the winter solstice celebration Mark Lloyd http://notstupid.laughingsquid.com "How could you ask be to believe in God when there's absolutely no evidence that I can see?" -- Jodie Foster |
