    DUDE THIS VIDEO SAVED MY NIGHT and my tomorrow, within the first 47 seconds! I was on the verge of tears. Being a single woman it's essential to know stuff. With your help I was able to get my washing machine going. I pray that GOD does something really amazing for you for being a blessing to me!

So the GFCI is all new to me now that we live in a new house and I was in a quandary when my power washer kicked a GFCI. All is well again and we are back to work. Thanks for his simple and understandable video.

    Thank you! Great video! Your explanation regarding the arc light and testing was exactly what I needed when my electric fireplace turned off and tripped the breaker switch . When I went to my breaker panel, I didn’t know why the arc light turned on when I switched the switch to on, so I switched it back to off thinking it was an alert of a faulty switch.
    My 15amp switch is on the right side of my breaker panel, so was a bit confused when my off position was to the right and yours was to the left, but figured it out that was fine..

    hi , I followed your directions, because my downstairs bedroom lights went off, I kept turning off the breakers, and waiting and turning back on, but no luck. Finally I turned off the gfi in the kitchen and bathrooms, but no luck. I went outside the back porch and press on the light on the outside switch/plug, and all of a sudden it worked. Thank u very much, I watched your video over and over, to check if I missed a step, but soon as i came home I remembered i have a gfi plug outside. Thanks again, you made the steps clear, and in order
