When this happened a couple of months ago I reset every breaker in the
box. Literally. This one sounds like it's snapping to but it didn't
until I reset it several times. This time it won't set at all. It goes
right back to 'tripped'.

It could be a wiring issue but hopefully just the breaker for that
circuit. I haven't plugged anything extra into that circuit since I've
lived here.
