[Shop-talk] Bad breaker?

[Tim .]

I did but mainly to make sure it wasn't the grinder (which worked fine when plugged into an extension cord.

And, to be clear, I wasn't asking about replacing the breaker with a GFI (but I will), I was wondering about replacing the outlet with GFI.

Thanks guys

Probably an obvious question, but did you unplug the grinder to make sure it's not just continuing to trip the breaker?

The breaker that controls my sink grinder's outlet seems to have failed. It won't reset.

It is simply a matter of replacing the breaker with a new one or might there be another issue in the circuit? Near as I can tell that breaker only has one outlet on it. (house was built in 1905 or so and still has active knob and tube. ffs. And there are at least four breakers controlling our tiny kitchen.) Also, the outlet is not GFI so I want to replace it but can't really fit under the sink to do it.

So, can I just replace the breaker or should I bite the bullet and call and electrician?

Thanks
