Blew my breaker, plug grounded?

[getogrow]

Somebody posted a step by step in this thread that if you follow , you cant go wrong.
Something is touching somewhere in the walls or wiring somewhere..... fuck man i thought we had it. my bad man but now we KNOW that breaker is good.

 

[natureboygrower]

Breakers are all on the ON position with power back on...........

The only thing now would be to swap out that breaker with one that you know works.

Edited to say, if you dont feel comfortable doing that, then dont

 

[Moabfighter]

turn it all back off.... put it back together an turn it back on. the problem is elsewhere.....

Fuuuuuuuck. I don’t get it. I changed the only used receptacle in the bedroom with tripping breaker.

Not necessarily

 

[getogrow]

its going to be something with your outside lights or whatever you set up...... but if all that is unhooked that should not affect anything here.....

He may have cooked a wire in the wall and got lucky no fire and now a dead short

 

[getogrow]

Not necessarily

Your right. ive just been in a hurry to help. We can almost rule out the breaker.

Those are not for this subject. Please be advised.

Yes they are, a good Fluke can save your life.

Could have him conect to one of the other 15amp breakers to see if that good one blows
but runs a risk

this is exactly what happened , i just wish i could point him in the right direction. Like i said , someone posted a step by step to rule out things one at a time..... if you have the time its well worth it , specially knowing you can cut off the power outside and work on whatever yuo want safely.

Get another electrician to take a look. Not the same one you had before. Maybe the first guy is missing something. Changing a plug is one thing but don't go messing around at the breaker. Stay safe.

Good luck.

I agree, but the dude earlier said they're not when I mentioned them. Haha

i assume it will just pop the next one too but i also dont want him seeing that spark ....it will scare him away from this subject.

Stove won’t come on now wtf

 

[BigBadAbe]

I have seen where a motor can have a dead short and trip breakers but OP says everything is unplugged
I wonder if something like a dowstairs frig or freezer is on this circuit , very strange

 

[natureboygrower]

If there was ever a time for OP to learn from "some dudes on the internet" now would be it. Illegal state, unfriendly sparkys etc.

He's getting to the point of having to call an electrician, but to not do a little investigating on your own is just silly and a waste of money.

 

[Moabfighter]

Okay I got it. When I turned on main I guess when that breaker tripped it threw the stove too. All good now.

I think mice fucked me. I definitely have a few....

Your main breaker is bad. has to be. im not 100% but im 90%+ Turn it back off and try to slam it back on....not drastically.

 

[BigBadAbe]

He may see a Big spark
