All the wiring including the grounds were tight. I suspect it is just a weak breaker. The run of wire from the breaker to the receptacle is only about 10 feet, so I would think you could go up to a 20amp with no problem. So Dave, you replaced your 15amps with 20amps? And Lowes had the HOMT type of breakers? Thanks for the info guys.
Hey Noneck, I didn't see your reply before I posted this reply. Your right they use 14 gauge on the 15amp circuits and 12 gauge on the 20amp circuits. So you think I shouldn't go up to a 20amp breaker on this circuit even though it is a very short run?
