GFI keeps tripping
My GFI on my utility room is lit up and when I press reset, it trips again.

I have unplugged everything I think is plugged into it. Still trips. Rest of house is ok.

Bad GFI? Or real issue?
8 years old.

Can I replace it myself or call an electrician?

Had to plug sump and modem into other rooms. No biggie.

With the new Lt Gov taking over, my land will be taken away any time.

Ok. I am done.


I see the line/load thing on the GFI. I will do it tomorrow. After I take a pic of the old GFI.

Ran out of time today. The stuff that matters is going to other outlets in the house.

On a serious note, it's probably not a more serious issue, I'd try replacing the gfci before calling an electrician, 8 years is old enough it could just have been overloaded at some point causing it to go to shit.

Check all outlets on that circuit for device overload (could be in other rooms, other levels). I assume laundry in that utility room? Sometimes laundry areas get very moist from ldryer vent clogged with lint and moist air not escaping...probably old gfci though or circuit overload.

Sump, fish tank, freezer, water heater, modem, outside plug and garage outside lights.

No laundry.

That's called a clue!

Maybe the outside plug or lights got some moisture.

One is on the porch, covered. The other lights are the front garage lights.

I am going to pull the GFI today and go to Home Depot. IF I can do it, great, if not, electrician

They're easy enough to replace (assuming you can change a light switch) if the GFCI itself is the issue, but there's a good chance it's actually doing its job and there's something else going on. They only cost maybe $20, though, so if you can't figure anything else out, it's probably worth trying a new one before you call an electrician.
