- Note that resetting the breaker handle from TRIPPED to OFF takes a large amount of force. As explained in the below video, push the breaker handle until it just touches the breaker case to get it to reset. If you have pushed the breaker handle until it touches the breaker case and it still won't reset, the breaker may need to be replaced.
