If this particular breaker trips, how long does it take to reset it?

You should be able to reset it right away, if it doesn't reset grounding out(something shorting out) or breaker itself is bad

I second the answer of Curtis H. Also be aware that the condition which caused the ground fault to trip the breaker could be intermittent. Thus on one occasion it resets immediately and on the second resetting does not occur.

If you are unable to immediately reset, then either the breaker is bad or the condition that caused it to trip has not yet been resolved. (I.e. there may be an electrical short that has not been repaired.)

Don't know. Just installed. Have only tested it and it was fine. Was able to reset immediately.

I only did it once when a power outage reset the machine. It took more than 8 hours.

It did trip a breaker on a power strip a couple of weeks ago (no harm done), but not since then. I would guess it depends on your wiring -- my building is old and it's not hard to blow a fuse when three appliances are running.

It trips (presumably because it overheats triggering a safety switch, not the breaker in the electric circuit) when plugged into a standard wall socket (no extension cord). It trips at HIGH setting 1200 watts but does not trip at 800 watts. She set it closer to herself and gets along at the lower setting with considerable complaint. Sorry to have been unclear in the original review which I was trying to keep short.

I unplugged power for about 5 minutes and that did it. 15 seconds won't do it...I tried that first. Give it AT LEAST a minute.

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.

With the unit turned off , unplug the base unit power plug for one minute . It helped mine reset itself .

There is a power switch on the board itself. I believe there is a reset switch as well.

I have experienced the same thing. The blue switch mentioned in Mgg1978 works in a similar function to a circuit breaker. Christopher Covington's post is spot on. I removed the door, check the switch, replaced the door & have not experienced this problem since.

It could be that the initial surge of energy is greater than the breaker can tolerate, or that the breaker itself needs to be replaced. A service technician needs to analyze the problem.

That happened to mine once. Turned out that the GFI was tripped on that outlet. I reset the breaker and it has been working great ever since.

No, but you will need to turn that breaker off. Use a meter and double check that there is no power on that circuit. If in doubt, then pull the wires for that circuit.

It is grounded but does not have a reset button...don't think it is needed on this...

Most complaints were due to the ports failing. The old units had a hardware fuse on each port. If it blew that port would no longer work. The new units they are replacing them with have breakers on each port which reset after everything has been unplugged and the unit sits for 20 minutes or so. I have 2 of the new ones and the breakers to my knowledge have never tripped.

Mine reset themselves after the power came back on. One of them took five minutes but it reset.

When power is restored the switch goes back to the off state. i Just tested it 5 times.

I don't really know other than unplugging the power source for 15 seconds and then letting it power back up again.
