Default Power outage

One more test that I would try is to swap the wires at the suspect breaker
with another breaker. The breaker may test good with no load on it but fail
once current starts flowing. I recently had intermittent flickering of all
the lights on one circuit. I swapped the hots between breakers and the
flickering moved to the other circuit. The bad breaker tested good, but
obviously wasn't.

Since you are obviously comfortable around the breaker panel, it couldn't
hurt to swap a couple of wires.

Good idea. I'll add that to the troubleshooting list.

Thanks
