using an ordinary bulb shouldn't effct it the holder that the bulb could be broken or corroded
No, cobwebs alone will not trip a breaker. Breakers are designed to protect against overloading and short circuits, not cobwebs. However, if the cobwebs accumulate and cause insulation damage, it could potentially cause an electrical issue that may trip the breaker. Regular cleaning and maintenance can help prevent this.
Check the MFG for the amps it uses, if it is suppose to be on a regular 20amp line, then replace the breaker with a 20amp breaker. With the 30amp breaker,it will work, but if there is a surge, you could send too much power to the appliance and fry it. Most refrigerators, are just on a regular 120v household outlet. Besides a 30amp breaker must have 10ga wire, if the wire is 12ga,it can not be attached to a 30amp breaker.
Arcing is caused by a poor electrical connection. The breaker is not making good contact with the buss bar. Try replacing the breaker.
Tandem breakers, often called split breakers or double breakers, provide two separate circuits in the space of a regular sized breaker opening. Every circuit breaker panel has a limited number of circuit openings available. The problem is that when the openings are all used up and you still need to add another circuit, what do you do? You could change the electrical panel or double up circuits on a breaker, but this could place too much load on a particular circuit. So what then? The answer that many have found is a tandem breaker. This type breaker is the same size as any other breaker, but it has its difference. This breaker sports two smaller breakers built into one regular sized breaker. Each has its own breaker switch and the breaker snaps in just like a regular breaker. With this simple innovation, you can add a circuit and protect the circuit on its own dedicated line.
Not recommended! You could cause a serious Safety Issue ... Fire.

The start capacitor could be bad. Is the Breaker tripped? Do you have a timer? Is it working properly?

A scheme where a signal is sent to to a remote location to cause a trip. An example could be a breaker failure scheme. When the breaker is told to trip, and fails to do so, fiber communications could be used to transmit a trip signal from the local substation to the substation the next bus out to cause that breaker to trip.
The dryer tripped the breaker. Have it repaired. Don't try to use it again. You could cause a fire.
Yes, a blown fuse can cause your furnace to not turn on. Check the breaker box and see if any of them have tripped.

Assuming you are referring to the power supply failing in your 20A device, it could cause the 30A breaker protecting the receptacle to trip. It depends on the mode of failure. It is easy to imagine a condition where a short in the power supply could cause a current in excess of 30A to flow to the device and trip the breaker.
If you are asking if you can change an 8 Amp Circuit Breaker to 15 Amps, the answer is no. If there is an 8 A breaker in place it is sized to protect the wiring and devices on the circuit. Increasing to 15 A would defeat this protection and could cause a fire or cause a connected device to be destroyed with higher amperage.
A short straight to ground. Unplug and disconnect everything from the circuit and then reconnect things one at a time until the breaker trips. That is your problem. (Also could be a bad breaker)
