2) The service co. is notoriously slow and I want the breaker replaced

to be a specialist with experience in dealing with the Kohler panel

If YOU can remove the breaker, YOU can fix it. Take it to somewhere that
sells breakers, perhaps Graingers, say "Gimme one like this," then install
the new one.


Take pictures, Or even label wires. My friend is color blind and
cannot/Will not work on electric publicly.

If no account at Grainger, tell them you are from the state forestry
service and will pay cash. They have that account in the records in
most places I guess.

I can't imagine it takes six fingers on your left hand to remove a
replaceable item. Go have a look.


One hand in the pocket with opposing thumbs.


If he wants to fix it himself, he could probably also find
one online at a variety of places, including possibly Ebay.

However, as I've said before, I don't see the point.
He has a service contract and the company is getting the
part to replace it for free. He has utility power. He even has a
work around that the service guy put in place, so on the remote chance
power goes out before the service guy
gets back, he still has generator power.
