One more update: I successfully replaced the breaker and all is working.

I have a big stone out front and I want to mount some plastic numbers on it. I temporarily stuck them up with double-stick foam tape and to my surprise, they stayed there for months, but once freezing temperatures arrived, the adhesive said, "nope, I don't do that." I got some Gorilla...

Update. No more incidents. What was weird was that all three of the top floor breakers tripped, then a day later, the well pump circuit. A few days after I had an AFCI breaker go out. Weird...

Update: I sent a message to Eaton and they said, "Part Number # BR115CAF is obsolete and replaced by new part number # BRN115AF."

Can I ask which model? I have a Nest but I don't love it and cannot get it to work without a C wire.

Not sure if anyone suggested this. You could go with wireless controls, e.g. Lutron Caseta. Replace the switch with a Caseta and use a Caseta Pico remote at the second location. Nice thing about the Caseta is that the remote looks exactly like the switch and mounts to the wall but is removable...

This is very odd. As I posted yesterday, I had an AFCI circuit breaker go bad a week or so ago. Then, yesterday, I noticed that three breakers, all next to each other on the panel, (not AFCI) were tripped. No apparent reason. Strange. I flipped them back on, all ok. Then today, I suddenly had...

Great tips, thank you. Thank you. My device is marked BR115CAF, which I am not finding online. Eaton's website doesn't show it but they show the BR115AF as discontinued and the substitutes they show are all plug-on-neutral. Sigh. I found a BRCAF115 ($55) which looks the same as the one I am...

My Dad used to say, "You had to play with it until it broke, didn't you!" Well, yes, I did. I pressed the little yellow TEST button on an AFCI circuit breaker and it did as it should, tripped the breaker. I flipped it back on and damn! It feels like it's on but the circuit is dead. My...

Hi, I need a second remote control for a drive-through electric gate. I have one remote now. It is a Linear MD0701 (which I think is 310 MHz). Is there a programmable remote that will clone mine? Ideally, I could get a universal garage door remote with two buttons and have one button control...

Born in the Catskill mountains of NY state, then in the San Francisco Bay Area for 40 years and now, for th time being, I am back in the Catskills. Most of my tools are at the California location but hey, I got a $22 drill at Walmart (no laughs, it does the job) and found an old circular saw at...
