A » To replace a GFCI outlet, first turn off the power at the circuit breaker. Remove the existing outlet cover and unscrew the outlet. Disconnect the wires, noting their positions. Install the new GFCI by connecting wires to the appropriate terminals: black to brass (line) and white to silver (neutral). Secure the outlet, attach the cover, and restore power. Test the outlet using its reset and test buttons to ensure proper function.
