Yes a bad circuit breaker and a bad light switch can cause a light to flicker when its turned on. It could also be caused by loose wiring going or coming from that paticular circuit. it also could be something in the fixture itself causing. Checking for loose connections is your cheapest and first route to go.

∙ 18y agoYes, a faulty circuit breaker, light switch, or plug outlet could potentially cause the bedroom light to flicker when turned on. It is best to have a qualified electrician inspect and troubleshoot the issue to ensure the safety of your electrical system.
To determine if the stove plug is tripping the circuit breaker, plug the stove into a different outlet with the same voltage rating. If it doesn't trip the breaker, the issue may be with the original outlet or circuit. If the stove still trips the breaker, it may be a problem with the stove itself. If the circuit breaker seems problematic, consult an electrician to diagnose and fix the issue.
Replacing the outlet may not solve the issue if there is an underlying problem with the circuit itself. The circuit breaker could be overloaded due to multiple devices drawing too much current. Check for any faulty appliances or wiring in the circuit that may be causing the overload and have a professional electrician investigate if needed.
Check the circuit breaker to ensure it has not tripped. If the breaker is not the issue, try replacing the outlet with a new one as it may be faulty. If the problem persists, consider contacting a licensed electrician to investigate further.
If a small kitchen appliance is tripping the circuit breaker for the bedrooms and not for the outlet it is plugged into, it could be due to the difference in electrical load. The bedrooms circuit may already have a higher load from other devices plugged in, whereas the individual outlet might have a separate circuit with a lower load. The small kitchen appliance could be exceeding the capacity of the bedrooms circuit, causing it to trip. It is recommended to redistribute the load or use a different outlet on a different circuit.
You cannot wire a normal 120V outlet directly from a double pole circuit breaker as it is designed for higher voltage applications. You would need to install a single pole circuit breaker for a 120V outlet.
Blown fuse or circuit breaker. Wires loose on another outlet in that run feeding that bedroom's outlets.
Not if the GFCI breaker is supplying the circuit you are wanting to put the GFCI receptacle into.

Circuit breakers can degrade over time but it would be better to get a competant electrician to do it. It might also mean you have too many things plugged into one outlet. Sometimes one circuit breaker may protect several outlets so it might be tripping because of a change in another outlet. ELECTRICTY IS DANGEROUS!!!! Don't do it yourself.

If the wall receptacle has tripped but not at the circuit breaker, it could be a faulty GFCI outlet. Try pushing the reset button on the GFCI outlet itself to restore power. If that doesn't work, you may need to replace the GFCI outlet. Make sure to turn off the power at the breaker before attempting any repairs.
If you are planning on adding a ceiling outlet in the bedroom for a ceiling fan, code requires a combination type AFCI.
Go to your distribution panel and shut off the breaker that you think is the circuit in question. If the circuit becomes de-energized then the breaker you just turned off feeds that circuit. Look on the handle of the breaker and the number you see is the amperage of that circuit. <<>> Determination of a 15 or 20 Ampere circuit is normally indicated by a combination of a 20A breaker and a 20A dedicated outlet. A 15A circuit normally has multiple outlets; not typical in a 20A circuit.
It means the breaker has been tripped. There are two possible ways to reset it - some have a button on the outlet (there may be several outlets on one circuit, so you may have to look around) the other is the main breaker in your breaker box. You'll need to find a reset the breaker.
