Guys,
I just routinely checked my GFCI outlets. None of them trips. They used to work OK couple of months ago. I could understand one of them died, but none of them actually trips when tested! The tester shows "OK" (ground, neutral, and hot are wired proprely) after I plug it but when I keep "GFCI test" button pressed on a tester, it changes the status to "no ground", but GFCI does not trip.
The other thing I noticed (I didn't try that before) is that 12V ground and 120V ground are connected. Is that expected? If not, could this cause the problem?
Thanks,
J.
