Hi folks
I have a problem with my dryer. Putting the dryer on will intermittently flip the main circuit breaker. There doesn'tseem to be a particular pattern - the dryer would run for sometime and then cause the main circuit breaker to flip. The dryer is a maytag 120V/240V three prong 5600 watts machine. It is on it's own circuit with a 30+30 amp breaker but this breaker neever flips. My daignosis till now is that when the dryer is on and any other appliance switch on (even a light bulb) will cause the main breaker to flip. That would point to a faulty main breaker. Hoever it can be something else. Is there a 3 phase thing going on for this 240 V supply ? Suggestions are welcome. Is replacing the main breaker a very expensive proposition, since I am not very keen on doing it myself ? Regards Debjyoti |
