How are the outlets wired???Thanks for your reply... So, the house is 10 years old... Modular, Nationwide (aka cheap). Are ark fault breakers "good" or should I replace them with GFCI? Money is not a problem and I can replace them. I would be fine with straight breakers and think GFCI is for wimps (but then there is "the code"...)
I will live with it another week (when I'm up there) just to make sure it's not tripping. My wife is an electrical engineer but knows nothing about this stuff (give her a mother board, she'll debug the heck out of it...)
I really want to find the root of the problem, I got time to figure it out....
Quite often on modular and manufactured homes, they use a push in connection on the back of the outlets instead of looping the wire around the screw terminals on the side of the outlet.
Those push in connections tend to get hinky after a while.
