Due to the way these thermal circuit breakers are made, they can work one way but NOT the other, much like a diode. I believe one of our members took one apart and found they are simply a bi-metalic switch.
our normal circuit breaker pops open either/both ways
You can test it by bypassing the breaker with a jumper wire. BE DAMN CAREFUL!!!.

I think I will test it with a bypass. But I will be careful.
Thank you to all who helped out!
