Is the breaker on the plug, the reel, or the receptacle end? I'm ceiling mounting this and want to either remove the breaker or easily reset it.

The breaker is in the plug. If you look at the plug on the Amazon listing and enlarge, you will see a push button on the plug assembly. I ceiling mount my units and have had to get my ladder out to reset the breaker.

Hi, The breaker is on plug (male pig-tale end) you would think it should be on the female end for more convenience. These reels however are very nice and very popular. Sincerely Rocky Kamrock Lights

I'm not 100% sure, but beleive the breaker is on the reel. I know it is NOT on the plug. That said, I have never had to reset the breaker, but have blown the 20 amp house breaker. . . Go Figger . . .

I just looked and it is on the plug end. I used mine a bit different. I have 220 vac going into it with a 220 vac receptacle doe the out. I am feeding in 220 into the 120 plug on a converted extension cord. it works just fine and safely as nobody else gets to touch it.

No breaker on the receptacle end. My is ceiling mounted and don't recall seeing a breaker on it, though it may have one.

I rechecked my unit to be sure as I did not use it for a while. There isn't any off switch. As per the instructions when the unit is not in use the plug should be taken out of the electrical socket. However the unit worked real well when in use.

I can tell you why this was happening, but the cause can be multifold. The reason the GFCI is tripping is because the circuit is overloaded and getting hot. When it cools down alittle it will reset, but you need to find out how many other things are on this circuit. You will probably need to use a different plug when cleaning. I don't know how many amps this unit pulls when heating, but it is more than this GFCI circuit can handle. I would have an electrician check the GFCI circuit and possibly remove some of the load from that circuit. THE IMPORTANT THING IS STOP USING THIS PLUG RIGHT NOW BECAUSE TRIPPING CAUSES OVERHEATING AND YOU HAVE A DANGER OF A POSSIBLE FIRE WHEN YOU CONTINUALLY RESET THE GFCI BREAKER. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM. Please have someone test this circuit to see if your steamer is overloading the rating of the circuit.

Do a little experimenting before you blame the heater. Submerge the heater in a bowl of ice water and plug the heater into an indoor GFI socket near the kitchen sink to see if it really is the heater or the socket. In my case, it turned out that the outdoor GFI plug was not completely resetting when I pushed the reset. Plug in a lamp when resetting the GFI until you know the socket is live. Toggle the reset button a few times, then try your heater. If it trips the GFI, you should be able to hear a distinct click. Personally, I have not had a good experience trying to contact the manufacturer. Good luck.

First unplug or off the breaker. There are two screws on the control panel, remove. Grip the control panel at each end thumbs in front with fingers in the rear. Push back with thumbs or arms while twisting upwards with your fingers, this should dislodge the panel from the dryer. There are four screws holding the board in place. After removing all electrical connections (mark or take a pic so you know where they go) remove the board and replace with new board. Replace connections, plug dryer back on and same with the breaker. Should be good to go. Very easy fix if it is the main board.

I've taken mine apart to install new switch. The wiring is pretty basic so if it's not starting there must be a bad connection. I'd suggest taking it apart and making sure there's no hair or something else causing the problem.

Plugged it into a regular wall outlet, which has other equipment on it, ie lights, fan and it has not been an issue. I use 20 amp breakers.

There was a slide switch to set the voltage output. My unit went up in smoke as soon as plugged in. It also damaged the equipment it was plugged into. My recommendation is not to use, send it back for a refund before your other equipment is damaged. T H

That blue button under the clear cap is a resettable circuit breaker. Push it to reset the breaker.

I was wondering the same thing. Seems like it basically just completes the circuit when activated, so I would think you could cut the plug off and wire it in line with the cable from the battery. I don't really want to be the guinea pig that ruins a brand new float switch though.

My dryer has one plug only, with 2 pins, and includes a red reset button on the plug for restarting the dryer in case it has stopped due to interruption in current level. That is best answer I can give to your question.

If I remember correctly, the end that the plug goes into pulls completely off, and you see the very thin heating element, that's the part you run into your safe or cabinet. Then you just pop the whole thing back together. Easy to install.

Make sure battery is disconnected and rv/trailer is not plugged in to shore power. Remove cover from breaker/fuse pannell. Disconnect Blue, White and Black wire from fuse pannell. Converter unit should slide right out.

Check your circuit breaker. Also is it the only appliance plugged in at that outlet?

I just pulled up on it but don't do this with the unit plugged in. That is how it shorted out for me. Good luck.

tough question sight un seen but sounds like your attaching the load wire to same termination bracket. also the outlet may be defective. If it is doing it on more than just one then it is the attachment location that is wrong.

I should. Have licensed electrician review the install manual (available at product website), and if breakers are not new, suggest replacing. Great product. I've had mine for about a year, and it works great.
