Re: 1726 Electric Problem

Jim,
There is one other possibility but you are not going to like it. On rare occassions, the screws that hold the 40 amp Maxi block together come loose. They can only be accessed from the bottom side of the block. If they loosen up, the contact between the input and output terminals of the breakers do not make good contact. If you remove the cover and then pull all of the 40 amp breakers, try moving each of the contacts. If they move, the screws underneath have come loose. I am betting you are going to find a loose wire on the input to the block or on the Rockwell block. Let us know what you find.
