Problem with a Circuit Breaker
Hello. Here is my situation.
---------- I live in a single-family home in Chicago. On our circuit breaker, the #12 switch controls the following: 1) ALL lights and electrical sockets in one bathroom, 2) ALL lights and electrical sockets in one bedroom, and 3) SOME lights and electrical sockets in a second bedroom, which is my bedroom. The OTHER lights and electrical sockets in my bedroom are controlled by a different switch. ---------- When I turn on any light controlled by switch #12, the light flickers for a little while and then goes out. When the light goes out, ALL the lights and electrical sockets that are controlled by switch #12 go out. To remedy this problem, I have to go to switch #12 and turn the switch on and off repeatedly, until the lights and electrical sockets controlled by switch #12 regain power. This has been happening for a few months. I try to use the lights and sockets controlled by switch #12 as little as possible, but that policy is becoming very inconvenient. So, what is the problem with my electricity? And how do I fix the problem? Thank you for any information. |
