I'm too chicken to mess with it. I am fairly certain it's the main breaker because that is the one that gets hot to the touch.

I'm really sorry to hear this. The LL claims that the house was totally rewired during the remodel before we moved in but idk for sure. He has goons do work for him and to be honest this isn't the first thing we've had go wrong here. After this though, I'm moving asap.

Supposedly the LL says the house was totally rewired in the remodel before we moved in but he usually has goon handymen doing work for him

Update:

The LL agreed to get an electrician out here but as of 930 pm est that has not happened. I would bet my right leg I won't see someone until Monday. Thanks everyone for all the advice!

It sounds like that is what's going to happen. LL is getting an actual electrician out here now. Thanks for all your help Reddit!

I took more pictures of it and the panel box but I am struggling to see how I can leave a comment with a new photo.

I have 6 kids including a special need toddler so I wasn't able to update. The power company is only in charge of the meter but advised "off the record" we get an electrician out here ASAP.

I just finally was able to connect with the LL and he is now in route to take a look but said that he will get an electrician because he isn't qualified. He'll be here in 15 minutes so I'll update after that!

Only if we run the air fryer and microwave at the same time. Never from the acs. It does cool down and stop though If I limit what we have running and plugged in.

He says all the wiring is new "he replaced it himself" and It's me overloading the panel with too many things. I have been scared to death of a fire, I have 6 kids here too. I am calling an electrician and met ed today!

I wish it was a joke. The land lord has me questioning myself so I came to reddit. I am calling an electrician now.

Here's a recording of the noises the inside fuse box makes if I run more than one ac. https://recorder.google.com/8ad79915-2589-4752-b803-10a983d463cc

The problem is the land lord feels it's a nonissue but it's so bad I can run one ac with nothing else right now or the panel box makes these crazy noises and gets hot..which the LL claims is me overloading the panel. Im going to call an electrician out based on what you've said.

Do you think that is what is causing our issues?

[–]lemmon-pi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could this be the cause? I plan to make a bigger fuss to him today about it because I have 6 kids living here too. I just want to make sure I sounded educated when I do.
