Panel or Breaker is Buzzing

Audible buzzing or humming from the breaker panel.

1

Is the buzz loud, sizzling, or accompanied by heat/smell?

Loud buzzing, sizzling, or heat at the panel is an urgent hazard — arcing is likely.

Always de-energize the circuit and verify it's dead with a tester before opening any device. When in doubt, call a licensed electrician.
