Review on π Enhanced Safety and Convenience with Leviton AGTR2 W SmartlockPro Function Receptacle by Brian Krump
The Leviton socket is defective from the factory.
I installed this Leviton tamper resistant AFCI/GFCI receptacle exactly as directed. When I turned the switch back on there was a spark at the breaker and it worked immediately. I checked the wiring, everything was fine, so I tried again, with the same spark as the switch. Now I was scared, so I called an electrician. I thought there might be a short behind the wall box where I couldn't see. He checked my wiring, agreed it was fine, so removed the outlet and when I reset the switch everything was fine. He installed a new GFCI socket and it worked with no problems. An internal short circuit has occurred in the new Leviton socket. As a result of this faulty product, I received a scare and a huge electricity bill. I know Revane will refund the outlet money, but Leviton has to refund the electricians. They refused. They don't endorse their product. I bought Leviton rather than expecting a superior product from a cheaper store. I'll know better next time.
- Patented latching feature prevents reset in the event of a fault and cannot respond to arcing or ground faults
- I don't remember, but there was something
