GFCI Outlet Won’t Reset: Isolate a Downstream Ground Fault Safely

A GFCI outlet that trips and will not reset is protecting against a possible ground fault, has no upstream power, is miswired, or has reached a failed or end-of-life condition. From a dry position, note the indicator state, unplug visible downstream appliances only if their plugs and the area are dry, and identify whether another GFCI or breaker upstream is off.
