I haven't been on TOTV lately and was surprised to see this thread. We have had our Master bedroom breaker flip twice today and several days last week. We have been worried that it is due to something in our bedroom shorting out.

I would love to have this taken care of. But wasn't sure if the electrician (Pike in our case) would replace the breakers if we are out of warranty.

Anyone know? We are in Gilchrist and no HAM operators nearby to our knowledge. Our house is 1 1/2 yrs old.

Thanks for any info!

Dottie,

Since this is a reoccurring problem, try unplugging everything in the bedroom (if you can) and see if the AFCI breaker trips. If it does, definitely contact the electrician or home warranty. If it noes not try plugging in devices ONE AT A TIME. As you do move the cord, turn them on and off etc. Also check that all light bulbs are tight in the lamps. AFCI breakers are designed to be very sensitive to ACRING type faults, so bad switches, loose connections, as well as worn cords and other sources of electrical noise cause them to trip.
Of course if you are uncomfortable doing any of the call a professional.
Hope this helps.
