Circuit break keep jumping out

As suggested in an email to you it is recommended that you call the manufacturer on Monday for assistance.

if it is the breaker on the panel then you need to go to a 20amp circuit. if it is the machine then you need to contact the mfg. if the 20amp gives the same results then your machine has a short in it.

I have The Maxx press 11"X15"
After one week of use suddenly the the machine turn it self off. I saw that the circuit breaker jump out. I press it and re open the machine. The problem is that the machine keep turning it self off all the time and the circuit break keep jumping out. I took it today to my house to check in a different location - and its keep turning off.
What is the problem? what can I do?

Thanks,
Guy

Hey Guy,

I am a retired electrician. I would advise you to stop trying to turn on the press. There are basically two reasons a breaker will trip;

1) excessive current being drawn, possibly due to a full or partial short circuit. The possibility of electric shock or fire is there.
2) a bad or worn out circuit breaker. This is less likely, but possible. This would have to be verified by a competant repair person.

I support the advice the other posters gave you, call the reseller or the manufacturer at your earliest convenience, but I strongly advise not continuing to try the heat press.

Thank for all of you!
