A simple task, I know.
The GFI in my kids' bathroom went bad. I installed the new one. When it's hanging out of the wall, it works. When I push it back into the box and press the button, I get sparks and it trips the breaker in the basement.
The damn ground wire keeps popping off, no matter how hard I torque it down.
All the other wires stay intact...they're the type that plug straight into a hole in the GFI, then a screw tightens them in.
What's the trick for getting the ground wire in tight? There's a little metal plate, but the wire doesn't fit under it...so I'm just trying to tighten it under the screw head.
