If you do not connect the white wire, are you disabling the GFCI function of this breaker? And would it still function without the white wire connect?

If you do not connect the white wire you are disabling the GFCI function of the breaker. If I were you I would certainly contact an Electrician. All wires on the GFCI should be connected and grounded properly.

The white wire coming off the box does not hook to anything, to switch patterns you touch this wire to power and it switches the pattern.

William, First I would check the ground connection, if you still have a problem I think I would temporarily by-pass the switch.I have not had any problem with the one we purchased , really pleased with it. I have had a fuse that looks good visually have a loose connection inside and cause a problem. Good Luck .

Well, if it's being fed from a GFCI breaker then I would like to believe that it would trip the breaker. On a normal breaker or receptacle it will show how the wiring is done, correctly or not.

Your questions are hard to understand and need to be rephrased. Yes this unit only has one white wire. Yes this unit is helpful if you have a compatible Murray panel and you have run out of space because it lets you retain 2 circuit breaker spaces and also have the surge protection.

I did not hook mine up that way, so I'm not sure. GFCI outlets are very sensitive and will trip if they sense any current on the ground wire, so you may need to check on how the wiring needs to be done between the inverter and panel so that the GFCI outlet works properly. Check with a licenced electrician or your local wiring codes would be a good start.

With three failures in a row I would (from 30 years of being an industrial electrician) I would inspect your wall sockets. Sometimes these are just connected with the "push" in cheapo deal(It's common in cheaply built homes) instead of the much better wire wrapped and secured by the screw terminal type. I've dealt with situations, even though I would get 120 volts on the meter, things wouldn't run (in this case a forced air furnace). It was an old home and by installing new receptacles and securing the wires properly to the terminals I cured the problem. Good luck.

First, the unit won't operate unless you have an active ground connection. The instructions are poor in that they don't show the complete circuit to the light. Basically, run your power cable through the switch box to the light fixture; the black wires of the switch will be spliced into the black "hot" wire of the cable; the green wire of the switch will be connected to (but not interrupt) the ground wires of the cable. The white "neutral" wire will run only to the light - bad design in my opinion, because the switch uses ground instead of neutral to complete its control circuit, but apparently it meets electrical code or could not be marketed.

If it does not have a socket, then it should have a two wire connector that plugs together. If not, you might need to cut of the connector and just wire not the conductor together. If you are not experienced, you shod hire an electrician.

I hard wired mine, it's an option illustrated in the installation guide - wire connections are easy to join together and function is unchanged. On warranty - sometimes wiring requires a licensed electrician to maintain warranty but, if you were returning the unit, who would know how it was originally installed anyway? Hope tht helps

the traveller wire is probably the culprit. You have to ensure that the master is installed where the source wire is fed into the box. The source is the set of wires that "feeds"the circuit (in other words this comes from the electrical panel). the slave switch is installed in the other location and only connected with the traveller wire and the white (neutral) wire.

Sorry you are out of luck. This particular switch requires 3 wires and a ground - you should return it. Some other switches only require 2 wires. Your two wires are both "hot", usually black wires, the line and load they are called. This switch also requires white/neutral and should also be grounded - green.

No this is not GFI (Ground fault interrupter), you would have to install separate GFI behind the switch or between the switch and fan. -- It is a very good timer switch, and I have wired several for use in bath exhaust fans. It's advantage is that it will handle larger loads (bigger fans) then most switches.

I was looking back and the fan that you are talking about we have a regular switch that you would turn on and off lights. That switch is very simple to change. Two wires, black wires. the hot side of the power. The white wire will not be on that switch. Make sure the power supply is off when making this repair.

The wires can be cut and re-attached in the middle. Removing and re-attaching the white connection could generated more trouble that just re-splicing each wire

i bypassed the switch because mine broke also for no apparent reason. have someone who is "savey" take the switch apart and solder the wires together. i just plug and unplug my unit when i need it.

My timer came with three wires, one that acted like the input wire, one that acted like the output wire, and the third is to be connected to the ground. My guess is if you do not have a ground in your house wiring, then do not connect the ground to anything. that seems to be fairly typical for older homes. I've had a couple of houses that were older and there were no ground wires, either. The ground wire is usually uninsulated.
