Signs You Need a Breaker Replaced
🚩 Burnt Smell or Scorch Marks
If your breaker smells like burnt plastic or shows visible charring, it’s already overheating and could fail at any moment.
🚩 Breaker Won’t Reset
A tripped breaker that won’t stay on could be damaged internally and no longer functioning correctly.
🚩 Flickering Lights or Dead Outlets
These may point to a faulty breaker that’s not delivering consistent power.
🚩 Buzzing or Crackling Noises
Breakers should operate silently—any sound means it’s time for a professional inspection.
