If a breaker keeps tripping, it’s important to identify the cause of the problem and take appropriate steps to fix it. Here are some steps you can take:
- Identify the cause: The first step is to determine what’s causing the breaker to trip. It could be a specific appliance or outlet that’s overloading the circuit, or it could be a problem with the wiring or the breaker itself.
- Unplug appliances: If the breaker trips when you turn on a specific appliance or plug something into an outlet, unplug the appliance or device and see if the breaker still trips. If it doesn’t, the problem may be with the appliance or device, and you should have it inspected or repaired by a qualified professional.
- Check for electrical issues: If the breaker keeps tripping even when no appliances are plugged in, there may be an electrical issue such as a short circuit or ground fault. In this case, you should contact a licensed electrician to inspect your electrical system and make any necessary repairs.
- Reset the breaker: If the cause of the tripping is resolved, reset the breaker by turning it all the way off, and then back on again. If the breaker continues to trip after you’ve reset it, it may be damaged and should be replaced by a licensed electrician.
Remember, working with electrical systems can be dangerous, so if you’re not comfortable troubleshooting or repairing the problem yourself, it’s best to contact a licensed electrician to help you. MR AMP can help you! Call us today!
