110 electric power...15 amp circuit breakers

[Cocoa Loco]

Has anyone had a circuit breaker failure in your 110 volt circuits? I have one circuit that will not "close" to allow power to the galley wall plugs. Can I replace this breaker with a standard "house" breaker or must new part come from RV supply?

It's a standard 110v breaker, though there are several different designs/shapes, depending on the manufacturer of the load center (power panel). Take the old breaker to the store and find one that matches it.

But when you say it "won't close", do you mean it flips right back off again when you try to turn it on? That is usually caused by a short somewhere in the circuit rather than a defective breaker. In that case, the breaker is just doing its job and you have to fix the short rather than replacing the breaker.

I'll go one step further and add to Gary's post: If your GFI outlet is tripped, you will not get your circuit breaker to reset. I've got three AC circuits in my Brave; each has a GFI outlet and a 120vac circuit breaker.

Also if it is tripped you usually have to trip it all the way off then trip it back on.
