GFCI outlet keeps tripping — Lodz, Łódź
A GFCI (ground-fault circuit interrupter) outlet that trips repeatedly is detecting a current leak — which could be a sign of damaged wiring, moisture in an outlet box, or a faulty appliance. While the device is doing its job protecting you, the underlying cause needs to be found and fixed by a licensed electrician.
