Hi John,

The breakers trip when the current gets too high.  Once in a great while, a 
connection along the wiring can blow open too due to high current.  It is 
possible something shorted and instead of blowing the breaker, a connection 
somewhere failed instead.

Tonight, I would flip the breaker "off" to be sure a bad connection does 
not have power which might possibly start a fire.  Tomorrow, maybe an 
electrical tester from the hardware store could find the blown 
connection.  You start at the breaker and work forward.

If not, maybe just call an electrician to come find it.  Better to blow a 
hundred bucks on a pro there than burn the house down.  In a way, it is a 
good thing since a bad connection is far better "found out" before 
something bad happens.

Cheers,

         Terry
