Kitchen & Pantry Light Troubleshooting – Fort Myers, FL

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: KITCHEN & PANTRY LIGHT REPAIR – FORT MYERS, FL

Coharbor Electric was recently called to a residence in Fort Myers, FL, where the homeowner was experiencing serious trouble with their kitchen and pantry lights. Each time the breaker was reset, the lights would stay on for only 15 to 30 seconds before tripping again. After trying this several times without success, the homeowner reached out for professional troubleshooting.

Our electricians arrived promptly and began with a full inspection of the circuit. We checked the breaker, verified the wiring, and examined both the kitchen and pantry light fixtures for any damage or loose connections. By carefully isolating each component, we were able to identify the fault causing the repeated trips.

Once the issue was repaired, we tested the system thoroughly to ensure everything was operating safely and in compliance with NEC standards.

The homeowner now enjoys fully operational kitchen and pantry lighting without the frustration of a constantly tripping breaker. The repair provided not only comfort and convenience but also peace of mind knowing the system is safe for everyday use.

Why did the lights keep shutting off?
This usually happens because of a short circuit, wiring fault, or overloaded line. In this case, a wiring issue within the lighting system caused the breaker to trip.

Could the breaker itself have been bad?
Breakers can fail, but more often they are doing their job by protecting the system. Our testing confirmed the breaker was working correctly.

Is it dangerous to keep resetting a tripped breaker?
Yes. Repeatedly resetting a breaker without fixing the problem can create fire risks. It’s best to call an electrician immediately.
