Breaker Won't Turn Back On?

What would it be if you turned off your main breaker, then turned it back on and there was one breaker to a bedroom that was tripped and could not be turned back on?

It would be time to call an electrician to come and change the breaker.

A standard breaker will trip on an overload. This is often a short circuit between hot and ground.

The short circuit can be part of your household wiring. But that probably hasn't changed. I have heard of someone hanging a picture by driving a nail in the wall and going through the electrical cable causing a short.

I would unplug everything fed by that circuit before attempting a reset.

In case you don't know: to reset a breaker first turn it off and then back on.
