In my house the dryer trips the breaker so i started looking at the plug . I
found that iget 220 v across the hot legs but when i checked each leg to the
neutral i get nothing . So i ran a wire from the ground in another 110 v
outlet to the neutral leg in the dryer plug and the dryer ran for about 15
min. before tripping the breaker I should mention that it wouldnt run at all
untill i put the wire in the neutral lug from the other outlet


Fix the neutral problem and start over.
