If the breaker for a clothes dryer all of a sudden starts tripping would
this likely indicate a problem with the dryer? This appliance is about 15
years old.

Thanks.

Could be shorting or overloading. Does it run OK on a air fluff cycle? If
so, good chance the heating elements are the culprit.

Breakers do go bad also. Hard to pinpoint without a meter to check the load,
etc.
