In the circuit breaker panel, you MUST move the circuit breaker handle to the FULL OFF position and then to the ON position. This will reset the breaker. If you just try to turn the breaker on from the tripped position it will not reset and will not turn on.

Please feel free to send me a PM and we can discuss further over the phone.
