In reviewing my electrical system in the home I found two weird breakers.
I'm assuming these breakers, the ones with the yellow 'test' button, are old GFCI breakers which were put in when GFCI was needed but also where the the item being fed could not accomodate a GFCI outlet that could be reset.
The problem is that they are loose and wobble - a lot. The pictures below show a small pool sub-panel and my main house feed panel. The smaller pool panel with the 15A GFCI breaker wobbles around about 1/2" up and down and the other two pole breakers in the box also do not line up making the cover for the sub panel not close properly. It looks like the bus bar black plastic in the box is warped maybe causing this? Could the 15A GFCI be bad and just loose and need a new one?
The second photo of the main house feed panel also has a GFCI breaker that used to feed an old in-home jet tub with pump but that has since been removed and the line was converted to a 20A GFCI outlet. Is it necessary to have both a GFCI 20A outlet in the wall AND this 20A GFCI breaker or should this breaker be removed. Is double GFCI a thing that is OK to do or were the electricians just lazy? Is it better to have a regular outlet in the home and keep the GFCI breaker and just label it as GFCI with a sticker?
