I live in a small house in Argentina where we use 220 volts. I have a thermal circuit breaker that do squeak noises when the iron starts or the fridge starts. I adjusted the four screws of the breaker but I saw it was broken. When I adjust one of the screw, it separate the plastic thermal circuit breaker. I would like to know why I have to adjust the screws periodically.
I want to replace the circuit breaker because this breakage: what features should has the new one?

replace like with like.
look at the print on it and see what amperage it is rated for and get one with the same rating. the one picture is a double pole breaker that will shut down both leads when either one is overloaded.
