Griddle Tripping Breaker in St. Augustine, FL
It trips part-way into a cook rather than at switch-on, which points at a component failing once it is hot on the griddle. This is worth booking now rather than next week — it rarely stays this small.

Why your griddle is tripping breaker
On the griddle: the breaker goes the moment the element or igniter is called, and holds indefinitely as long as that function is unused. The fault itself is contained today; what it damages next is what makes the bill grow.
Causes, in the order we check them
- 01An electrical or control-circuit fault
- 02A sensor or switch that's failed
- 03A part that's blocked, leaking, or sitting out of alignment
Quick checks worth doing
The one self-check actually worth your time: unplug the griddle and confirm the same breaker then holds, which separates the appliance from the circuit. Also, note exactly when it trips — at switch-on, at a particular stage, or after a period of running — because each points somewhere different. Before you conclude anything, check that nothing is blocking the vent or the space around the appliance, which trips more safety limits than component failure does. Once that's ruled out, isolating a short between the motor, the heater and the harness needs an insulation test, which is not something to attempt with a household multimeter.
We start with a complete diagnostic on the griddle, confirm the actual fault, then price it flat. Tripping breaker has more than one possible cause, and telling them apart is what the on-site diagnosis is for.
What St. Augustine's climate does to a griddle
The St. Augustine climate — hot summers, high humidity, mild winters — quietly shapes how a griddle wears here. Corrosion on spark electrodes and exposed fasteners is the coastal signature here, ahead of any wear on the heat side. That's why a St. Augustine visit includes a check of the climate-worn parts, not only the one you called about.

Common questions
Answered before you call.
How do I know if it is worth repairing?
Yes. Some failures cost more to put right than the remaining life of the unit justifies, and a technician who has just measured the fault is the person best placed to tell you which case you are in.
How does the visit work?
A technician diagnoses a griddle that is tripping breaker at component level, confirms the cause by measurement, and walks you through the finding before any part is touched.
Do you guarantee your repairs?
You're covered by our 18-month labor warranty and 90-day parts warranty. If the same fault recurs in that period, the follow-up visit is free.
Where do the replacement parts come from?
Genuine parts where the repair calls for them — and an honest answer when a component is discontinued and the only route is an equivalent.
