I had a new circuit breaker box installed 3 years ago by a licensed
electrician, the old one was a Federal Pacific "fire starter".
Everything was fine until a few days ago. When I turn on the TV, the
power for that entire circuit goes off WITHOUT tripping the circuit
breaker. The rest of the house has power.
If I wait for a few minutes the power for the circuit (not just the
socket that the TV is plugged in to) that shut down COMES BACK ON BY
ITSELF and I can turn on the TV with no problem (until the next time).
The problem does not happen all the time, probably every other time I
turn on the TV.. We have been having record temperatures here for the
past 10 days or so with no rain (105-110).
If there was a short in the TV you would think the circuit breaker
would trip.
Anyone have an idea what's going on?
check the screws on the breaker first, then as long as your checking
that check the rest too. including your nuetrals, screws will work
their way loose see it all the time. wouldnt hurt to pull the outlet
out and check to see if wires are under screw or stabbed in the back
of the oulet, if stabbed in the back pull them out and put them under
the screw where they belong.
so if breaker is good and screws tight. wires to outlets under screw
and tight and still not right then you probably have a connection (pig
tails) somewhere that is going bad.
