When looking at your electrical panel that should be one switch that is not aligned with the others. If you look closely it should show that it is in the off position.

The breaker should click back into alignment with the rest others.

Standing for “ground fault circuit interrupter”, a GFCI is an extra safety measure to protect people from potential danger. GFCI are used in bathrooms, kitchens, unfinished basements and any place where the outlet may come in contact with water. The outlet has a mechanism that will turn off the circuit if it detects electricity going down the incorrect path, for example through water or a person.
