GlennWest Posted January 28, 2017 Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 Come in from work last evening and wife says breaker tripped on ac. I tried to reset and it thrower as soon as I attempted reset. This is living room rather new unit, 2 years. Went up and removed cover expecting to find a burnt out or shorted wire. Found nothing obvious. Had wife to rest while I watched and listened. It started up and ran fine. ??? I have already had to replace fan on it a month or so ago.

Kirk W Posted January 28, 2017 Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 Keep us posted on what happens next. If the breaker tripped immediately until you removed the shroud, but then worked it might indicate an insulation issue that shifted when you took the shroud off, but I'm only guessing. It may also have cleared for some reason and had you just waited the amount of time you spent getting the shroud off, it would have went away. You have a real puzzle.

I'mdonewiththis forum Posted January 28, 2017 Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 Either what Kirk said or it is possible that the breaker is failing and the shroud removal was coincidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john&sharon Posted January 28, 2017 Report Share Posted January 28, 2017 Glenn, We had the same issue several months ago. John replaced the breaker and it has worked fine since. We actually have had to replace several breakers on our 2006 this past year. Sharon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alie&Jim's Carrilite Posted January 29, 2017 Report Share Posted January 29, 2017 Pull the face off of your breaker panel and tighten all the wire lugs. I replaced 2 breakers in our box after having them continuously trip. When replacing the breakers, I turned every wire lug screw 1/2 to 1 turn tighter. This is now a yearly check.
