Hi Bob , I've seen this issue before when I was an electrician . If the panel & breaker is fed with aluminum wire ,shut off the current , remove that circuit breaker , examine it for arching signs . If there's any evidence of arching at all , the breaker should by all means be replaced .Inspect the wiring for melting of wire or insulation . Snip the melted ends , use a piece of emery cloth or a small wire brush on the bare ends ,then smear oxyban grease on the wires (work it into the strands so each strand is protected), then install it into the proper connection & lock down . These very same details should be used at the main breaker also . In the many years of business I always used (and highly recommended) oxyban on all aluminum wire connections to avoid any oxidation caused by heat & changes in temperatures .Always remember to go back & retighten all connections on aluminum wire applications because its a guarantee that they will become loose in time from heat . Now when copper wire is the application , I always use a dielectric grease to avoid corrosion happening .Corrosion & o0xidation are our worst enemies & causes of electrical malfunctions with end results being dwelling fires if not corrected . HTH ! God bless , Ken.
