thank you so much for this, a storm hit and the power went out for a few minutes then came back on but only one area of our house had power back and we were so confused. our mom is on a business trip and my little sister and i are left here alone, we were clueless on what the problem was. but after watching this i was able to restore the power in our house, thank you! 🙏🏽
Thank you so so much, our power went off unexpectedly and I felt like a scared chihuahua. All other circuit breaker videos were confusing somehow? This was extremely simple and perfect for non-electricians, thank you
OMG!!! I am probably the most technically challenged person on the face of the earth 😩 I just watched your video and I reset my breaker!!!!!!! I’ve been without my microwave and bathroom light for two days now. Thank you, thank you, 🙏
Thanks for the comment. I'm so glad you were smart enough to figure out how to do this! Great job! Who knows what other diy stuff you can accomplish. 🙂
Thank you! Saved me calling an electrician. I had tried to do it myself, but did not flip it back to "on" immediately, so it went back to that part-way place he shows. Tried again as he suggested, and the frig and washer are back on! I think the switch was "part-way" on and I didn't realize it. Went back out to garage, did it exactly like he explains in the video. Eureka!
It’s 0150 in Dallas Texas and I’m not sure what I was thinking other than we have a sleet and snow storm and I plugged in my new heater and the house became quiet and the TV went out and the all my little plug in heaters went out. I didn’t want to wake up my neighbor so I went to my U Tube guide and you saved me Big time!! Thanks for the easy video you had posted several years ago! I was nervous about fixing this problem but I pulled my Big girls pants up and bravely went to the garage and found the panel box and Flipped That Switch and WaLa I came in the kitchen and I could hear the heaters coming to life!! Thanks So Much! Now I can get to bed and sleep in my bed and not worry about how cold it will be today!!! Thanks again 🙏😊
You help me so much breaker tripped I was using to much power went to the box no labels on them I listened to u and was good instructions look for the one that is not lined up and switch off then on boom 💥 it works u r awesome 👏🏾
Thank you so much All the power just went out in my bedroom I don't know why but I didn't know how to work the circuit board but thanks to you I was able to find the one to my bedroom thank you bro really much thank you so much
Thank you so much. I nearly freaked out thinking i had to spend a ton on hiring an electrician to fix my wall sockets. Turns out, i just needed to reset my circuit breaker 😂
THANK YOU! I accidentally did something and the power went out in my room and my moms room (my mom and sister were mad at me) but I did what you did and worked😃👍👍
When turning a breaker back on find the breaker that needs to be turned on then stand to the side of beaker box so only your hand is in danger zone, look away and then turn breaker back on. If a arc flash(rare) happens only your hand will be exposed.
thank you! just used this to fix my room and the kitchens power so my mom can finish dinner (and i can play fortnite on my xbox)! a little bit extra for ppl, (on our house at least, since the breaker box is outside) you have to lift the thing up, and then theres another door that you have to slide a thingy to open
My power recently went out and I heard the breaker box trip. All the switches were in the ON position like normal. So I flipped the ”MAIN” switch to OFF then back to ON. But the MAIN switch would not stay in the ON position it kept flipping back to OFF? So I turned all the sectional (e.g. kitchen, bedroom) switches to OFF. Then tried the MAIN switch again. It still would not stay in the ON position. Finally I switched all the sectional switches back to ON position. Then I tried the MAIN again. This time it stayed ON and the power came back. What happened here? I'm assuming that I reset everything.
HELP! a/c breaker is in the on position but does not snap tight like the others and is more springy. The compressor was change on Sunday today is Wednesday
My house was built in the 40's I know at least one side all breakers are on when flipped to the outside of the panel. So does that mean the other side is on if flipped to the outside also. I have no idea where the breakers go on the left side and I can not find anything shutting off when I flip them.
It's hard to say without seeing it. Typically they are set up like you're saying but I'm sure there are exceptions. Mine also have on and off written on them.
Is there anything cheap you can buy that flip it back on when it goes off. Like some kind of attachment with a battery that does it, something simple eveyone can do? If not someone could make a lot of money. I’m so sick of flip the thing.
What happens when it just won’t get untripped? I’m doing the exact same thing and it just stays tripped. Even tho I keep turning it on and off to untrip.
Either the circuit breaker itself is bad or something that you have plugged in that's connected to that circuit breaker is causing it to stay tripped. First, try unplugging everything that is plugged into that circuit then flip the breaker and see if that works. If not, you'll need to get the breaker replacedd.
A tripped circuit - when the breaker ends up in the middle like shown in the video - can be caused by a variety of reasons. The most common is an overloaded circuit. So maybe you have too many things plugged into the same circuit and they are drawing more power than the circuit breaker is designed for. For example you might have a portable heater plugged in and running and then you use a hair dryer plugged into the same circuit. This could trip the breaker because those two items draw alot of power. There are other reasons explained in this article that could be more serious. www.thespruce.com/why-circuit-breakers-trip-1824676

I'm about to try this right now because my wall plugs just tripped and I can't use the fridge, laptops and other appliances.
When he demonstrated the breaker positions then I knew which one to flip I don’t do it too often so thanks for the help
Thank you, my switches on my box looked lined up, but after watching this video a closer look showed one was slightly off . Very helpful quick video
This worked for me and saved me a call to the electrician! Make sure to unplug all devices and turn off the outlet in question before resetting

Why is your Main breaker going to the left

What if it won’t go?
You could have a short circuit somewhere that won't allow it to reset. Could be a faulty breaker although not as likey. Time to call an electrician.
Doesn't work that way .. if it's broken it will stay in the middle .
