A breaker flipped
You'll get calm steps for the panel, and a firm stop if it flips again or smells like burning.
Who it's for. Someone who heard a drip or a rattle and wants to know whether to call a person.
What that click usually means, and when to leave it alone.
The prompt
A light or outlet just died and I think a breaker flipped. Explain, in numbered steps, how to find the panel and what a flipped breaker looks like. Tell me to keep my hands dry and to stand on a dry floor. Tell me not to turn it back on more than once. If it flips again, if I smell burning, or if the panel is warm, tell me to stop and call an electrician.
