GFCI outlets should be tested periodically, at least once a year. A GFCI outlet has a Test and a Reset button. Pressing the Test button will trip the outlet and break the circuit. Pressing the Reset will restore the circuit. If pressing the test button does not work, then replace the GFCI outlet. If the outlet does pop when you press the Test button, but the outlet still has power, the outlet is mis-wired. A mis-wired. outlet is dangerous and it should be fixed immediately.
