  1. do you know what's compatible? my circuits jumped from 50 to 80 bucks. I did just buy my 2nd one b/c they keep dying. It's an eaton CHFAFGF120PN. Type ch, dual purpose caf/gf breaker. I don't know enough about breakers to know if there's a much cheaper one that could suffice in its place. I did change out the last one myself based on your vid, so that was awesome.

  2. Worked exactly as shared. Took less than 5 min to actually do (after procrastinating for weeks for fear of killing myself). πŸ™πŸ»

  3. it is good to know what my handyman will be doing. Fortunately, i have a very affordable and knowledgeable person who seems to be a master of many trades. I am very lucky.

  4. This was great & hopefully it solves my issue. The breaker doesn't trip all the way off & it will not click either way & the kitchen plugs along a certain wall doesn't work. I'm going to replace the breaker & see what happens. Thanks for the video.

  5. My sister called last night about a non-resetting branch ckt breaker. I am sure she can do this, but I want her to see it done correctly. Your video is JUST WHAT THE DOCTOR ORDERED (she IS a doctor! LOL). Thanks. She has internet through a battery powered JetPac and she has a battery-operated computer. I'm going to insist that she have the video cued up so she can watch step by step if she needs a memory booster.

    Great job! Thank you!

  6. This was extremely helpful. I watched another video previous to this one that left me with many questions. Yours answered everything.
