This could have been so much worse!! 🔥
A customer's hot water system tripped the plug in circuit breaker most nights. We checked the hot water heating element resistance and insulation resistance, and it was healthy. Once we opened the board, we found a loose connection in the fuse base that was radiating enough heat to trip the breaker.
