Hi all,
I'll start by saying that I thought maybe it was the breaker, so I replaced it. But the issue predicts
Whenever I run my dryer, I "trip" the main breaker. But not really. Everything shuts off in the house and I have to manually flip the main off and then back on.
I can run 2 A/Cs, 2 box fans, 2 ceiling fans, the oven and the stove with lights on wherever in the house with no issues at all. But as soon as the dryer is turned on, boom. Power is out. We've tried it with EVERYTHING off in the house with the exception of the kitchen light and still, no power. Sometimes it happens within minutes, sometimes it runs for 20+.
A couple weeks ago it stopped happening for a few days... I honestly don't know what it could be. It's not hooked up to a brand new 30amp 2-pole breaker, the dryer itself is only a couple of years old, and the issue didn't start until a few months ago. I don't know where to even begin troubleshooting...
Any ideas?
