Maytag Stove: My power shuts off when I run my dryer

Fri, 26 Nov 2021 20:18:21 -0700

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?

Maytag Stove: Ice maker stops working after emptying bin.

After my last defrost attempt the ice machine was working great for a month. Tempature is correct. Last night I emptied the bin to make extra ice for camping. Woke up to only one load of ice in the bin.

I have a problem with a gas dryer it's plugged into a 110 and when the dryer is started up the light that's plugged into the same outlet goes out and comes right back on . No breakers blow....
