A tripped circuit breaker is a common issue in homes, usually caused by an overload or short circuit. Here’s how to reset it safely:

1. Locate the Breaker Panel: Typically found in basements, garages, or utility rooms.

2. Identify the Tripped Breaker: It will be in the “off” position or midway.

3. Turn Off Appliances: Before resetting, switch off devices on the affected circuit to prevent surges.

4. Reset the Breaker: Flip the breaker fully to “off,” then back to “on.”

5. Test Your Appliances: Turn them back on one by one to identify if a specific device caused the trip.

If the breaker trips again immediately, consult a licensed electrician.
