    I’ve been sleeping in the attic in 90 degree temps. Sweating and tossing in turning in my sleep for the past two nights. I flipped switches but you showing me this off position made me try a second time and it worked. Thanks so much!

    Thank you so much! I was dealing with resetting a tripped breaker switch which was in the middle position. Every time I switched it to the On position, it would not stay there. It wasn't until I watched your video that I learned how to do it correctly, which is to switch it to the OFF position and then all the way back to the ON position. Voila! You saved me a service call. Thank you again.

    My boi, you just saved me from going to bed hungry. I was using the microwave & air fryer at the same time to speed up the process to eat but i over loaded the circuit & caused the power in my kitchen to go out & panicked that I started messing around w/ the panel until I just said to myself, “if I don’t know how to fix it, some guy on UA-cam will!” & sure enough, found this video less than 5 mins. You’re a lifesaver man 🔥💪🏽

    THANK YOU SO MUCH, this was the first helpful video that helped me out, that was immensely helpful! I didn't realize the switch pushed back further back to get to the off position, I actually went without electricity in my room for the last few days because I was too busy with work to contact my apartment office for help. Thanks so much again, spreading simple knowledge like this can save from a lot of headaches.

Guess what?? it worked and I walk into a room with a smile like a pro 😀 Thank you so much👍🏻

    I need to be heard. I am a 65 year old Widow what children that live nowhere near me. I woke up this morning my air conditioner was off one half of the house was off and I panicked. I'm also an extremely fixed income. I remember my 14 year old grandson telling me to go to UA-cam and ask them when you have problems. I went to UA-cam, by the way I also saw a episode of the neighborhood, a TV show that also credits you all for doing good work. I watched your video did exactly what the young man told me and thank God everything's back on. I have to say thank God and thank you. God bless.

    Of course this kinda stuff only happens at night when it’s 35 degrees outside.
    After 10 unsuccessful trips to the box on the side of the house I thought I’d try UA-cam.
    Saved 300 bucks (Sears Repair estimate) thanks to a UA-cam video showing me how to replace the switch on my washing machine. Learned a hundred other things here. Why not ?
    Clicked on this video and PRESTO!
    Power has been restored.

MOST electricians only show how to replace but in this case, if I am careful not to plug in 2 heaters full power same time, it works just fine ;-)
