After watching several videos, this one cleared up my confusion around multiple wires and how to install them with a GFCI. Thanks so much for your help!

Watched several videos, it was difficult to find one addressing the 6 wire scenario - your video was definitely the most clear and concise - it got me through this little project. Thank you!

Easiest/clearest/most concise video I've watched about this topic!

Thank you and a thumbs up!

Got three separate GFCI outlets that I needed to replace. One was a four wire version that was easy to finagle, but this video helped me enormously on the two that had six wires. Three black ones with one hot wire, and three white ones, and I had no clue before. Thanks to this video, I installed them, tested them, and found them to perfectly reset and test. Thanks for this.

When I started I had no idea how to wire 6 lines. You answered all my questions and I felt comfortable to do it myself. Thanks!!

Great video! Most people will have it wired wrong so if you have to replace it just follow this video and separate all pairs of wires, and most importantly turn off the main breaker!

I had to learn that the hard way, you can still have power coming into that box

Dude!!! Thank you! This was so informative and very well detailed. Thank you for doing this for us.

Only video I could find that actually answered my question. 👍

You can find the line by checking the neutrals for continuity with the ground wire. This is faster and safer. If more than one has continuity there is some problem in the wiring that needs to be solved, or the GFCI will trip immediately.

This of course will not work on old two wire installations that have no ground.

Great video. I have installed two of those Leviton 15A GFCIs outlets in my kitchen where one works but the other won't reset, it keeps tripping after pressing RESET button. Any idea?

[PaulS-te]

I actually have 4 - 2 wire for a total of 8 wires. A GFCI outlet and a single pole switch in the same box. Have one power and one light the switch turns on and off. The other is on the washing machine outlet and one runs to the refrigerator outlet.

Is there such a thing as extra deep old work electrical box? I just installed a 2-gang gfci + outlet with USB. It was super tight to put back...any recommendations? Thx.

[JohnGreen_US]

I have installed a Leviton GFCI just as you demonstrate here. Question. Doesn't the Leviton instruction sheet/manual that comes with the GFCI say that you should not have more than 2 load lines (hot/neutral)? At least mine did. Is that true of this unit, too? Do you know why they give that warning?

[VideoByPatrick]

Apparently not supposed to connect another gfci to the first gfci LOAD.

[dougfett]

What became of the ground wires for the load lines?

[herbertnewman]

Didn't see you connect all the grounds together!

[markslaptastic]

Replaced a 2 prong with a gfci, wired as shown in video but now my light switch doesn’t work? Outlet originally had 3 black pigtailed and 3 whites together for neutral side. Old outlet didnt have any brass tab to separate either.

Bro. Imagine this: a new homeowner buys 99% of houses today and finds he doesn’t have an outlet in their bathroom near the toilet. You can’t have a bidet, sorry.
Well, wouldn’t it be a great idea to make a video on adding a gfci outlet near a toilet from a light switch? Not a single “expert” on YouTube has thought of doing such a video. And now I’m stuck here not sure what to do, because I have two light switches next to each other with a million wires behind them and have no idea where to connect my gfci wires to.
