A GFCI outlet test checklist makes each Test button kill power and each Reset bring it back, without opening the outlet.
People assume the sticker means the outlet still works, then find a button that does nothing.
Why This Happens
GFCIs fail quietly. The lamp test is the only check that does not involve the wires.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this an electrical repair?
No. This GFCI outlet test checklist is the Test and Reset buttons only. Opening the box or replacing a wired device is an electrician job.
How often should I test?
Monthly is the usual home habit, plus after a storm or a trip of the breaker.
What if Reset will not stay in?
Stop using that outlet. A GFCI that will not reset is not protecting the circuit.
Can one GFCI protect other outlets?
Yes. The ones downstream can go dead when you press Test. Write those down.
