    Circuit breaker troubleshooting
    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!
