I have a problem with an electrical circuit in my house. I have a
circuit where the breaker trips repeatedly, but not immediately when I
flip it back on. What I mean is this; I see that the breaker has
tripped, so I flip it back on. After 4 or 5 minutes, the breaker is
invariably trip again. It never trips immediately, but there is that
gap of time between when I turn it on and it trips.



Put a new circuit breaker in and see if that makes any difference-- or if
you didn't want to buy one, swap one from another circuit in your panel
being sure to use the same amperage.
