Just bought our first electric dryer , wewe have always used gas in
the past . No natgas here , and propane would require installing a
big tank . So what size brbreaker do I need in the panel to power
this thing ? Current draw according to the model plate says it
dawaws 22-24 amps , but there's also the start current surge - I'm
not sure if the heating element comes on at power up .
So will a 30A breaker handle this , or do I need to go with a 40 ?

Weren't their instructions with the dryer, or did you get one of those
kits from Eico?

Instructions don't come with a used appliance .
