Default how can you tell if your breaker is bad
In article ,

there's no power in a bedroom ,the rest of the house has power

I would swap two identical breakers. If the problem swaps, then the
breaker is bad.

If the problem goes away, then the breaker may have had corroded
contacts. I had that happen in an old apartment.




Yea, just change the wires with a breaker that has an identical current
rating and see if the problem is the same breaker or in the circuit
external to the breaker.
