Here is what I am running into installing GFCIs
When the outlet is tripped, the hot terminal still shows hot, however the GFCI in fact trips and whatever is plugged into it stops working.
Tester shows correct wiring, no open ground or neutral which was my first thought.
Here is the kicker - when I place my finger on the plastic part around the led light the issue goes away.
I have tested 4 different GFCIs and all are doing it. I installed them in a different location which is on a different circuit and they do not shows this issue.
Here are some pictures to give you a better idea of that the issue is. I am pretty stomped with this one. I am testing this on the main wire coming to the kitchen from the breaker box.
