The GFI tripped in your kitchen suddenly because it detected a ground fault, which means there was an imbalance in the electrical current flowing through the circuit. This could be caused by a faulty appliance, water leakage, or wiring issues.

Why do CFL's keep blowing in my lamp that is pluged into a GFI outlet?

Are you sure it is the bulb that its blowing and not the Gfi tripping? Try resetting the gfi. Also try swithing to an incandescent bulb and test your gfi. Also test the cfl in a non-gfi outlet. Cfls return power they don't use and may make the gfi trip. I am not an electrician, just personal experience.


GFI electrical outlet at the garage where the freezer hook up keeps on tripping but when plug at the electrical outlet of the garage door openner does not trip. What is mostly the problem?

Electric motors and GFI's do not get along. the initial draw to get the compressor going is usually enough to trip the GFI. Turn the breaker off and switch the GFI for a regular outlet and you will solve your problem.


Why does the GFI keep tripping in my electrical circuit?

The GFI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) may be tripping in your electrical circuit due to a ground fault, which occurs when the electrical current leaks to the ground instead of following its intended path. This can happen due to damaged wiring, moisture, or faulty appliances. The GFI is designed to trip to prevent electrical shocks and fires in such situations.

Plugging an electric heater into a GFI outlet caused the lights and other outlets to go out but didn't trip the circuit breaker why?

A GFCI receptacle can pass it's "protection" to other outlets wired from it. If the GFCI trips, all outlets wired from it will "trip" also. A GFCI tripping will not necessarily trip the circuit breaker in the service panel.


What is wrong in a 1995 Oakwood mobile home if your gfi doesn't work in the kitchen and today the master bath tripped and won't reset and the kitchen will reset but won't work?

The gfci's are tied together in one circuit so that's why no power, and it sounds as if one of them is malfunctioning probably the bathroom one. Your outside outlets should also be on this circuit so something could also be wrong there. Be sure to check the obvious (tripped breaker) first. Alot of times a shorted sink disposer can be the culprit so be methodic and thorough in checking all the gfci's normally they will be anywhere that there will be the possibility of water contacting with electricity like near or under the sink, bathrooms, outside, and water heater.
