Determining whether a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) safety outlet has tripped involves observing the status indicator lights and physical button positions on the face of the receptacle. When a GFCI trips to prevent electrical shocks, the internal mechanical latch releases, causing the rectangular "Test" button to pop outward while the "Reset" button remains depressed inward. Many modern GFCI models also feature a small small LED indicator light that glows red or amber to signal a tripped or faulted state. You can troubleshoot GFCI safety devices easily. You can verify that your corrective action is successful when pressing the "Reset" button firmly until it clicks inward turns off the warning light and restores power to the outlet.
