50 amp gfci for hot tub will not reset have unhooked lines from tub and gfci panel
And pulled fromm conduit breaker still doesn't reset with no load. Pulled breaker out of panel it will set with no power but test button won't trip it . Had power surge or something bad like that
When common from pole to weatherhead broke or burnt . Did that burn up the gfci breaker? Since that I have gotten a new fridge, 371.00 in furnace repair,cant wait to see what else!
Thanks ,
Don

Dpletcher,
GFCI breakers somewhere around 2003 or so where re-engineered due to numerous
Failures due to surges... it sounds like the breaker you're describing has failed so why
Not replace with new and call it a day, your hot tub may be safer as well!
