I do not stick my hands inside the panel box. I'm a "generalist" not an electrician. I test the AFCI (if unoccupied). That's it.

Hey to all,
I have to agree with Paul and Joe on this one. I am an electrician and still would be leery of sticking my hand in the panel. Much less somebody else who is NOT a licensed electrician to do so. As far as shutting the panel down, could open up a lot of other issues like poor grandma, the fridge, and the panel did not have any problems till you messed with it. Definitely should let them know and recommendations for immediate action but thats as far as I would go.
