need electrician asap

[GobyApparatus]

believe we have a bad breaker.
Must be licensed and insured.

In most cases you can swap out a breaker yourself. Breakers are cheap and available at home stores and youtube can show you how easy it is.

I don't play with electricity

Just turn it off where it comes into the house. Then play with the breaker
Or let your fingers do the walking

Are there any GF I outlets on that same circuit. If so check to make sure they didn't trip

Not that I know of. There were only 3 outlets being used. Floor guy came last night to strip and wax and it blew for him and won't turn back on. All the lights over the cash register area are out. Front pond is offline. Freezer is on an extension cord to another outlet.

You should probably call out an electrician then.

its very easy to replace all you need is a flat head screw driver.

1. on that breaker panel at the top there should be a master turn it off or turn off at main panel from street if applicable.

2. take panel cover off

3. locate faulty breaker and remove should kind of hinge out of place think of removing a remote battery cover "closest reference i could think of..."

4. unscrew the screws holding the wire into breaker.

5. take breaker to nearest home goods store ace/home depot/lowes ect show them and get same same

6. insert wire tighten screw

7. put breaker back into panel

8. put panel back on

9. let there be light

10. i am not a electrician but have wired up a few things from houses to phase converters maybe a sparktrician :)

Went to local hardware store. They don't have the right kind of breaker. Don't have the staff to take a ride to Lowe's or Home Depot today.

Do you have a circuit youre not using, back room or seccondary bathroom that you coukd swap breakers temporarily with?

 

[GobyApparatus]

I'll just deal with it for today. I'm sure I'll hear back from my electrician in the morning.

 

[Defiant Arms]

only other suggestion would be to locate another breaker inside your panel thats the same "15/20/30" and swap them. just find one thats used in an office or un important place till you can get someone out there
