Can I upgrade a 20 amp circuit breaker to a 30 amp? How hard is it to replace a breaker?
We have a 20 amp circuit breaker that cuts out because there is too many things tied into it (frige, microwave, dinning room chandlier, living room fan, chandlier, and three wall plugins. This is how it was done from the builder (pre fab home, built in 1986). The prior owners said they had no problem...only thing we can think of is our frige is larger than theirs was.
When we flip the breaker...sometimes it won't engage until we flip it five to ten times. It's also wiggles in the socket it's plugged into. Even if we replace with another 20 amp...how do we do that?
