    Eaton Dual-Purpose breaker keeps tripping

    Update - the electrician was finally able to make it out yesterday. He changed out the breaker and that seems to have been the issue. The breaker has not tripped in over 18 hours (or best before was 7 hours) so we're very optimistic. Hopefully I won't be back with another update later. LOL...

I looked at the instructions for the breaker and it says "Turn ON tripped breaker. The breaker will display a blinking LED." The last two nights the breaker has tripped but I've...

    Eaton Dual-Purpose breaker keeps tripping

    Thanks Stuff. One time the error code showed "ground fault" (five blinks) and other times it's shown nothing. Not sure what to think. If it's truly a ground fault, what pre-troubleshooting can I do before the electrician is called again? As I said - we never use the 2 outlets that are in...

    Eaton Dual-Purpose breaker keeps tripping

    We built a new house three years ago. Everything has worked great. Last week, one of our Eaton breakers tripped. I tried to reset it but it tripped immediately. This circuit has some kitchen lights and some outlets that we never use. I called an electrician and he was able to get the...
