A "ganged" 20A breaker? If one breaker resets, they both have to, right?
Is
that what you mean?
That's what it sounds like and definitely is non-code, NOT standard


because the other breaker ganged to it is holding it closed, especially if


FZ, nice to see you are safe. Now keep safe and use the electricial. Twayne
here is really FAR off the bat.

It's possible the overloaded breaker never will be able to overcome the
holding power of the other one, and maybe never open up but simply keep on


Guffaw. Dangerous but funny stuff even *I* know better than.

Hi Twayne, thanks to you all for your advice. I am having an
electrician on Monday come out if I can't fix this. I have figured out


Electrician please and just turn off the hot tub and unplug. There's
something wrong but Twayne's advice is down right dangerous. Even the others
said get an electrician in. If not sure what a 'ganged circuit' is or how
to test it, this aint time to die learning how based on newsgroup nitwits
ok?
