What it usually is
A breaker that refuses to stay on usually has a short or overload on the circuit, or it has worn out. Forcing it is the wrong move.
What to do first
Unplug everything on that circuit and try one reset. If it still will not stay on, leave it off. Do not remove the panel cover or hold the breaker on.
The flat rate that covers it
- Electrical troubleshooting: $79
- Breaker replacement: $179
Hilltop is an older Tacoma neighborhood of early and mid-1900s homes, small apartment buildings and newer infill. In Hilltop, a mix of old and new work on the same street means supply and drain pipe can be very different from one house to the next.
