How do you reset a circuit breaker or change a fuse?

I need to know what to do PLEASE HELP QUICK!How do you reset a circuit breaker or change a fuse?
Sensible is correct, but if you have to replace a fuse make sure you get the right size. Do not get a larger size fuse to prevent it blowing. Good way to start a fire.How do you reset a circuit breaker or change a fuse?
Circuit breakers look like a lightswitch. If they are sticking straight out, flip it to the off position and then back to On. Fuses are glass and have a metal strip that runs across them on the inside and when bad, the metal is broken. You get the correct fuse, unscrew the old one and screw the new one in.How do you reset a circuit breaker or change a fuse?
just look in the box and see which switch is flipped. flip it down and then back up or to the side, and your power should be cool.

I'm guessing its' a breaker, not a fuse, so try just flipping the switch. It's that easy! just flip the switchHow do you reset a circuit breaker or change a fuse?
give 10 to Sensible....How do you reset a circuit breaker or change a fuse?
Though the breaker is already tripped, go ahead and push it all the way to the off position, then back to the on position. Most people think you just push it back to the on position and that will take care of it, but not so. If its a fuse, it just simply screws into the socket. If the fuse is bad, the metal bar that you see throught the glass face of the fuse will be burned in two.
