Light switch sparking problem trips breaker
I had had a problem with a light switch in a walk-in closet. Turning in
on sometime did not work, so had to press it for the light to go on. Yesterday, when I flipped it on, there was a spark. Now no light. The light in an adjoining bathroom also went out. The breaker had tripped. I reset the breaker and all was well for an hour or so. When I flipped the closet switch on again, a louder spark. Again the breaker tripped. So what is the problem here? Could a bad switch do this? Should I just try replacing the closet switch? No more load on that circuit than normal. Thanks Mark Sabatini |
