How long do they keep outgassing? This car is 14 years old...
just brew it! wrote:Stupid circuit breaker for the bedroom keeps tripping every day or two. Aside from the breaker, nothing seems amiss; and there's nothing plugged in to that circuit that should be drawing an appreciable load. Barring an intermittent in-wall wiring short, I'm guessing that the breaker is just bad.
Guess I'll try replacing the breaker. Never done that before, but it looks simple enough.

So I was rewatching Chain of Command; and all I could think of was someone doing that to Sam. And I was ready to kill someone with my bare hands if they tried; and I actually think I could have at that moment if I needed to. Is that sort of thing normal?
notfred wrote:Is it a standard breaker or something like an arc-fault one? Our bedroom plugs have to be on an AFCI. This gives you more failure modes on the breaker, in addition to the more real faults it will pick up e.g. like loose connections.
just brew it! wrote:Just a standard breaker. Replacement was uneventful, and it hasn't tripped since.
Do people generally power down the whole panel to do a breaker replacement? Seemed unnecessary to me as long as the breaker being replaced is switched off prior to disconnecting the wire...
Captain Ned wrote:The key is to properly route and bend all 3 wires so that it only takes one hand to insert the wire into the breaker/busbar and then screw it down with one hand. Two hands in the panel is asking for trouble.
That said, don't be stupid like me.
just brew it! wrote:I attached the wire to the new breaker *before* inserting the breaker into the panel.
