Start by unplugging or switching off devices on the affected circuit, then fully reset the breaker by moving it to OFF and back to ON. If it immediately trips again, stop and call a licensed electrician. Frequent trips can signal overloaded circuits, a failing breaker, or wiring issues that need diagnosis.
Quick checks:
- Unplug high‑draw appliances (space heaters, vacuums) on that circuit.
- Press TEST/RESET on any GFCI outlets tied to the area.
- Don’t keep flipping a breaker that won’t hold.
