What Should I Do If My Circuit Breaker Keeps Tripping Repeatedly?

Stop resetting it over and over. A repeatedly tripping breaker means an overload, a short, or a failing breaker. Turn off and unplug devices on that circuit, then reset once. If it trips again, keep it off and call a licensed electrician. Monkey Wrench provides 24/7 emergency answering and code‑compliant panel and circuit repairs in Los Angeles and Playa Vista.

• Identify what outlets/lights are on the tripping circuit.
• Move high‑draw devices (heaters, hair dryers) to a different circuit.
• Do not touch warm or scorched outlets; call us immediately.
