Spot The Problem
|
I went over to my sister's house Saturday to help a couple things, one being to fix a non working GFI outlet in the kitchen. (no power on the outlets, the test/reset buttons did nothing, breaker was not tripped).
When I removed the GFI outlet to replace it, one wire came loose - wasn't tightened down correctly - you can see the empty hole it came from next to the white wire. (that wasn't the problem, the GFI itself was actually bad). But I right away thought "who wired this thing" because there's stuff not right....
So excluding the wire not connected, lets see who can spot the other issues.

Over there how do they do it? Is there a cover over the screws? or is it push-in type connectors?
@AngryHorse: in this case since its plastic coated/romex type wire, nope. If it was in metal conduit, then yep the earth/ground would need to be be coated.
