Diagnosing Your Circuit Breaker

Leviton electronic breakers use handle colors and LED indicators to show why a breaker tripped.

  • Green handle, no LEDs: Normal operation
  • White handle, no LEDs: Breaker is OFF
  • Red handle, no LEDs: Overcurrent (overload) trip

LED Indicators:

  • Solid GF LED: Ground fault – call an electrician if the cause isn’t obvious
  • Solid AF LED: Series arc fault – contact an electrician
  • Blinking AF LED (1‑sec): Parallel arc fault – contact an electrician
  • Blinking LED (3‑sec): Neutral miswire (AF/GF/Dual‑Function)
  • Rapid blinking LEDs: Self‑test failure – breaker needs service or replacement

Refer to the video for visual examples of each indicator and blink pattern.
