What should you check first when a circuit breaker keeps tripping?

 title: 'How to Reset a Tripped Breaker'

When a circuit breaker keeps tripping, your first step is to check for overloads. Ensure that all devices on the circuit are turned off to prevent further strain, especially if multiple appliances are using power simultaneously[1]. Next, inspect for any faulty appliances by unplugging devices and turning them back on one at a time to see if one is causing the issue[3].

Additionally, look for moisture around the breaker panel, as this can lead to short circuits[3]. If you notice burning smells, visible damage, or if the breaker won't reset, stop troubleshooting and contact a licensed electrician immediately[4][6].
