Dad Resets Outdoor GFCI Outlets
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 сер 2024
- Outdoor outlets not working? The most likely cause is that your ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) tripped. It’s an easy fix. If your GFCI won’t reset, it might be time to call an electrician. I am not an electrician.
I hardly ever comment, but had to say thank you, Sir, for saving me a whole bunch of money on an electrician. Your video immediately solved my problem and helped me to set up my Christmas lights. 😊 God bless you richly! Deuteronomy 1:11
Excellent! Love hearing this! Thank you for the feedback. Happy holidays!
same here! Thank you so much and Merry Christmas!
Thank you! I never would have figured that out. My reset outlet was in the garage for the back patio outlet.
Sure thing! Yeh, it’s really not intuitive to think something in the garage would control outlets at different places. Glad the video helped. Thanks for watching!
Same here for me tooooo
same here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you man! I spent so much time trying to reset every outdoor outlet and flipping fuses. Had no idea the main gfci outlet was in my garage.
Yeh, it’s weird. Glad you figured it out!
this is the first time i ever commented on UA-cam; I just want to thank you for saving me a lot of money over something so simple; it never crossed my mind that could have been the problem.
Hey! No problem! I’m glad the video could be of some assistance. Agree. Weird that all you have to do is push a button to solve this!
Thank you so much 🙏🏾 The outside power was not working. Because of rain But after watching this video, it’s working switch in the garage plugged just as you described!
No problem! Glad it worked for you!
Thank you so much, we lost power during hurricane Ian and our outdoor outlets weren't working. Thought they had maybe gotten water in them but found this video, so checked and had our outlet with the GFCI switch in the garage just as you described! Outdoor outlets working perfectly. Saved me a ton of money having to call an electrician! Again thank you so much!
Oh wow. I’m so sorry to hear that. I hope cleanup is going ok. I’m glad the video helped. Thanks for stopping by!
OMG.. I was about to call the electrician.. After watching I went around and looked for the main. For me it was in the house hallway. You just saved my checkbook! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Oh, that’s great! Glad this helped, and glad you found it. Yeh, never know where the switch might be hiding!
Thank you so very much. Just had the house pressure washed. Then, my outdoor outlets stopped working. I found another non-working outlet w gfci and re-set it .All is well, thanks to you!!!
Ah, yeh the pressure washing would definitely be the culprit. Glad the video helped! Thanks for stopping by.
Thank you! I was in my basement wondering why the breaker switches for my outdoor plugs hadn't tripped. I looked all over for the gfci trip and eventually found it on one of the outdoor plugs I rarely use 🙃. I reset the trip and now all the plugs work fine. Thanks again.
Hah! Yeh, never know where the gfci is going to be hiding. Glad it worked out. Thanks for stopping by!
Me too
@sabetibrahim860 Sometimes, it’s weird where they place the gfci switches.
Thanks alot. Your information was so helpful. My outside garden outlet was not working. After watching your video, I found my outdoor Gfi outlet in my garage and reset it. It works now. Thank you so much. Very informative video.
Glad it helped! Weird, right? Appreciate you stopping by.
Thank you so much for doing this video! Single woman here and I had no idea where to look or what to do! 😀
No problem! Glad I could help! Thank you for watching.
Thank you! Amazing. It worked. I had no idea the GFCI reset for the patio would be in the garage.
Excellent! Glad to hear. Yeh, it’s weird how the gfcis are located in odd places sometimes.
@@daddoesvideos mine is in the kitchen lol thanks for the video
@@leroyforeman2082 hahah. Yeh, never know!
Was checking all my exterior outlets for the GFCI reset. Once you mentioned garage, sure enough fixed the issue. Saved the ongoing headache. Had a T storm that tripped the GFCI to my exterior outlets. Thank you for what you do.
Sure thing! Glad it helped. Certainly a quirky situation.
This was amazing. Had an outdoor outlet that wasn't working and I assumed I needed to replace the outlet. Stumbled upon your video through looking for a video on how to replace an outside outlet and it solved my issue. I have a refrigerator in my garage and it was out due to the GFCI being tripped and I didn't realize it until I saw this video so this really helped me save some food along with my outlet!
Oh wow! That’s so good to hear. Glad you stumbled on the video!
I had same experience, assumed I needed to replace the outlet. :) After found another GFCI outlet reset button, problem solved.
@@goodwish1543 Excellent! Glad it worked out!
Our outdoor outlets had not been working for months and this fixed - thank you so much, likely avoided an unnecessary electrician visit and bill. THANKS!!!
So good to hear! Glad it helped!
Thank you for this! I was about to get mad at our inspector, thinking he missed the outdoor outlets not working.
Hah. Yeh, it’s weird. Glad the video helped!
Great video, wish I’d seen this a week ago. Electrician came and told me all of my exterior outlets are connected and one has that button, usually in the garage or front door outlet. Mine happens to be the front door outlet. Learned something new but it has tripped again so I’ll need to make sure no water is getting through the covers
Hey thanks! Yeh, sorry to hear you had to pay for that electrician visit! But yup, at least you know the cause/solution now. Hah
I leave a radio plugged in my garage 24/7. I didn't even notice it wasn't on until I watched your vid. sure enough it's plugged into the cgfi and it was tripped. front porch outlet now works. thank you
Go figure. Hah. Glad the video helped!
Thank you so much. You save me a lot of money I was going to have to call a electrician. My refrigerator in the garage was affected along with the deep freezer. And outside outlets. I would’ve never known to look for that little plug-in with the button inside the garage if it wasn’t for you so thank you. I love UA-cam so much. You just helped out a single mother that are just trying to
I love hearing stuff like this. So glad you found the video and it helped!
Just saved myself a lot of stress because of you. Thank you!
Glad to hear the video helped! Happy thanksgiving.
Thanks! In my manufactured home, mine is located in the master bathroom. A cold front just came and I wrapped my outdoor well and pipes with an electric heating cord! Everything is on after a reset and I am so relieved! Thank you!
Oh. In the master bedroom. That’s different! Glad you found it, and all is ok. Thanks for stopping by to watch!
Thank-you! I was really perplexed until I found your video! Would've never figured that out. Thank-you!!
So good to hear! Glad the video helped!
Omg you just solved an issue with our show lights, all outdoor outlets and something I’ve been struggling with for 6 months 🤯 thank you so much!
Oh wow! That’s so good to hear that your issue is now resolved! Thanks for stopping by and watching!
Thank you so much! Patio lights are back on. We’ve had a lot of rain lately, so that probably tripped the patio outlet for safety. Thanks again!👍
Yup. Pretty sure the rain is the culprit! Glad you figured it out! Thanks for watching.
Can't thank you enough for solving my issue...Great job!
Awesome! So glad you found the video. Thanks for stopping by!
I’ve gone months without the porch light working and going into the winter season i was getting desperate literally just pressed the button in the laundry room and all the outdoor outlets work now! Lol thank you i feel silly for not doing this way sooner
You shouldn’t feel silly. There’s no instruction book for this! Sometimes, you just learn stuff on the fly. I’m glad you found the video, and I’m glad it helped!
Thank you, you just saved me a lot of grief from having to call a repairman. Appreciate it!
No problem! Glad it helped you. Thanks for stopping by!
Thank you so much. I had some of my Christmas lights plugged into an outlet outside. It rained and the outlet stopped working. I did what you said and it worked. Now I can put on my Christmas lights for one more night for my kids before I take them down because the Holidays are over
Glad to hear it worked! Always good to squeeze out another day of the holiday feels!
Thank you!!! We were the "grinch house" with no lights! Now, we can be festive too!
Hahah! That’s hilarious! Glad it worked out for you! Merry Christmas!
You also save me I almost attempted to dismantle my outdoor outlet but I quickly YouTubing and I found you. awesome!
Ouch. Glad you didn’t go through all that trouble! Thanks for watching!
I was pumped to figure out this after this video. I still had to really jam into the reset button. It appeared to be stuck. But it did the trick!
Glad it worked for you! Appreciate the feedback and for stopping by.
Thanks. It worked for me. My backyard patio outdoor outlet or power plug lost power. The GFCI reset button is on the front yard outside wall outlet. After push the reset button, everything started working.
Excellent! Appreciate you watching!
I was in a serious panic with our landscape lighting thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you
Excellent! Glad the video helped!
Thank you so so much. I finally got my outdoor outlets working after so many years.
Oh nice! I’m glad the video helped. Thanks for stopping by.
I feel as though I have to apologize. Initially when I saw your video I thought "Why did this guy go to the garage to reset an outlet I know how those work I know how to reset those" them I saw the comments. So sorry and a big thank you. I reseted the garage outlet and it worked. So again thank you.
Hahaha. Yeh it’s weird, right? But it works! Thanks for watching!
Your a god send. It was in my garage. All 3 outlets outside didnt work and after rummaging through my garage I saw one outlet red and vuala!
Lol! Thanks. I’m glad the video helped!
Thank you so much, we tried everything and we’re so thankful we found your video!
Awesome! So glad it helped! Thanks for stopping by.
Thanks so much! This was a simple and easy fix! I would have NEVER thought of this and definitely saved 🤑 not hiring an electrician! Keep the videos coming!
Right? So easy, but who knew? Glad the video helped!
Thanks, saved me a call to the electrician
Nice! Love to hear that!
Thanks very much- my GFI was hidden behind luggage in the garage-- but it was tripped and an easy fix- excellent-
Excellent! Glad it helped!
Thanks a lot, I was looking for lots of ways to fix this, helped me so quick and easy
So good to hear! Glad it helped!
Mine was in my bathroom next to the front door, but it fixed my problem! Thank you Dad!
Nice! Yeh, they are there somewhere. Just gotta find them. Garages, crawl spaces, kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, etc.!
Thank you so much, been trying to figure that out past week, great video!!!
Awesome! Glad it helped.
Thanks so much! This just saved my marriage for the Christmas lights outside
Hahaha! Glad it helped! Never knew I could save a marriage!

Excellent!
Wow! Wow! Wow! Thank you so so much! You saved me, I dont know how much money!
Hahaha! Glad it worked out for you!
Wow lifesaver thank you
Awesome! Glad it helped!
If your outlets are wired in series, as opposed to home run, and the GFCI isn't in the breaker itself, as opposed to upstream at an outlet as shown, then yes this works, assuming it's a GFCI issue and not a wiring or breaker problem.
Some would go straight to the breaker to look but the video informs the viewer to check for this scenario first, which is fine if you have this set up.
Some do, and some don't.
Besides wiring or breaker an inline switch or outlet could be bad...
Good feedback. My hunch is most who experience this have the outlets in a series. I’m just saying that checking/resetting the gfci is a potential solution.
I'm so glad that I found this video, thank you very much for it. I solved my problem with my outdoor outlets 👍
Yes! Glad it worked for you! Thanks for stopping by.
OMg thank you!!!!! lol I saved some money , I had no clue about this, the previous house where I grew up didn't have one of these

So my front outlet did the same thing. I had my extension cord plugged in for some Christmas inflatables out front. It did rain but I noticed neighbors around inflatables were still up. So I tried to reset the outlet in the garage but it’s still not working. Any other ideas? Thanks 🙏🏾
Hmm. Are there multiple outlets on the extension cord? Sometimes rain will just sit in there unless you tuen the outlets over and let the rain come out.
I can’t find mine anywhere! I tried all and it still won’t work. I guess I will keep on looking for a reset GFCI outlet but I went though all (only have 2)
Yeh, keep looking. Has to be there somewhere. Bathrooms, kitchen, laundry room, crawl space, basement, garage. One of these places has to have it.
Thanks you ! We live in a condo and have a string of patio lights strung around the fence of it. For years, when it rained, the GCFI outlet in our upstairs bathroom would trip and the lights would go out. I would press the reset button and a second or two later, it would trip again. We could not figure it out, but we ended up replacing the string of lights and somehow, at the very end (female plug), of the old string of lights, where it hangs down, had gotten partially buried in the dirt ! I think that when the dirt became saturated enough with water, that caused the tripping ?. I also replaced the patio outlet, and it hardly trips anymore, but sometimes in a really heavy downpour, the upstairs breaker still trips ! I'll have to make sure that the new outlet cover is sealed properly. Any other thoughts are appreciated.
Yeh, I’d make sure the outlet cover is sealed properly and make sure the end of the string lights doesn’t dangle in wet dirt. Or if you are using any extension cord, make sure that’s covered or you shake the rain water out of if if it trips!
Thank you !!!@@daddoesvideos
@@timy.4818 you are welcome!
Well done, my was at the garage
Excellent! Glad it worked out for you.
You saved me..I was about to destroy some things..God bless you 😂
Hahaha. Glad it helped!
Hello saw your video and I tried resetting mine in the garage but still not working. Also the actual plug outlet isn't working now either. I originally plugged in our power washer to the outlet in garage and then all of the sudden it stopped working. Tried your tips and still not working. All went to breaker box to reset it that way and still nothing. Any other ideas?
Hmm. Are you sure the outlet isn’t connected to a different gfci in the house somewhere? If not, maybe some wiring has become loose in the outlet. If you are comfortable, you can check that. Just need to turn off power to that outlet and remove and check wiring. You can always try installing a replacement outlet if you feel comfortable. Otherwise, I’d try an electrician.
Thank you 😊
Glad it helped!
Thanks 👍 it worked ☺️
Awesome! Thanks for stopping by.
And what’s the next step if I do this and still don’t got power for my outside outlet?
I’d call an electrician.
