Resetting a circuit breaker is a straightforward process. Here are the steps:
- Locate the Circuit Breaker Panel: Find the main electrical panel in your home. It’s often in basements, garages, or utility rooms.
- Identify the Tripped Breaker: Look for a breaker that is in the “off” position or is in a middle position between “on” and “off.” It may also be slightly out of line with the others.
- Turn Off Devices: Before resetting, turn off any devices connected to the tripped circuit to prevent overloading.
- Reset the Breaker:
- Firmly push the tripped breaker all the way to the “off” position.
- Then, push it back to the “on” position.
- Check for Recurrence: After resetting, monitor the circuit to ensure it doesn’t trip again. If it does, there may be a larger issue, and you should consider contacting an electrician.
- Restore Power to Devices: Once the breaker is back on and stable, you can turn your devices back on one at a time.
