I guess I knew that, but who knows what I know? I dunno!

I'll take a picture of this particular breaker and take it to the store. Very interesting comment about it "sweating."
Yeah, I get it. Makes sense, since it's the only one in the panel that's a GFI and everything else is bone dry.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

NO kidding! I'm the poster-boy for that statement! Not today, though! Cool and calm, but storms on the way.

You have company, likewise. No matter the temp. I lift a finger and start pouring. Have to keep changing out my dew rag for a dry one.

DONE!

They're easy enough to pop out of the panel, which means there's no juice running into or out of it, so from there it was "Columbo time."

Original circuit breaker mfr was bought out by Eaton, and, using the Cat. # off of the sticker on the side of the dead breaker (which was still dangling by the wires from the panel), I was able to Google/cross-reference my way to the new Eaton equivalent part number.

Couple of phone calls to local electrical supply shops and scored it this morning.

White and black wires unscrewed from the breaker and the pig-tail ground wire unscrewed from the panel. Reverse the order of screwing down/attaching wires to where they're supposed to go, make sure the switch is in the OFF position, snap it back into the panel, flip it ON and VOILA!

Never even had to turn off the main panel! Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks!?!

I had a GFCI in the kitchen a few months ago, that would trip occasionally. I finally replaced it with a new one, no more problems. I also learned they do deteriorate very time. This had been there since 1991.
FWIW.
