which reminds me of a story. My daughter (about 5 yrs old at the time) loved to play with her barbie dolls. She would setup a little playhouse in her room. One day, she decided to use a keychain with a little picture in it as part of the room decoration. Looking for some way to hang it, she noticed her nightlight. She uplugged the nightlight, hung the keychain on the prongs and proceeded to plug the nightlight back in. Needless to say, the sparks flew, and the circuit breaker popped. My wife tried resetting the breaker, but it wouldn't hold. By the time I got home, the circuit breaker could be reset (of course, the little barbie doll house was all cleaned up for diner time!) After a couple of days of this same routine, I finally noticed the burn marks on her outlet.
Kids! She remembers to this day, how she created her own 'fireworks' for her barbie playhouse! Kids.!</end quote></div>
In all seriousness, I hope you replaced the breaker! A load like that can make it unstable and trip at just a small surge...
Off the seriousness...maybe the barbie house should be equipped with a "barbie fire extinguisher" that works!! And, of course, it wouldn't be complete without "Fireman Ken" to put out those flames!! lol
