Have any power spikes of late? That reminds me... Well, about a month ago I was having trouble finding the breaker for the kitchen light so I could replace the fixture and I accidentally shut the breaker this box was connected to. It's on one of those little home UPS's but the thing has 2 other boxes connected to it and I've found that some stay on, some power down with short outtages. This one I think went down. Nonetheless, a good cleaning certainly would be a good idea to rule anything out. Incidentally, in order to take the power off to my kitchen light I needed to turn off the garage (!) AND one of the upstairs light breakers. Gotta love old house wiring...
