Under no circumstances should you do this.. for one they probably have different power requirements, but also they are high current devices, and by code MUST be put on separate branch circuits

What gauge wire and amp breaker do you use on a stove dryer and hot water heater?
A stove is a two pole 50, and hot water heater i would recommend the same.
Why does an Asko Washer Dryer Combo trip the breaker?
The USA Asko combo series runs on 110V, which is unusual for a clothes dryer. A USA dryer usually runs on 220V and has its own dedicated circuit breaker, but the Asko can run on a standard household outlet which probably shares a breaker with other outlets in the house. A clothes dryer takes a lot of current. According to the specs on most Asko combos I looked at online, your unit probably uses close to the maximum current your breaker can handle. If you are using other electrical devices at the same time, you will blow the circuit. It may even be the use of overhead lighting if it shares the same breaker. One more thing on Asko: According to many of the online reviews, the 110V combos have a tendancy to have overheating problems in the wiring when using both washer and dryer simultaneously. I would suspect that this is due to not cleaning the lint screens, so be diligent. A dirty lint screen causes the dryer to work extra hard and draw more current.
Your electrical dryer keeps popping the circuit breaker?
You may have other devices on the same circuit and adding the current draw of the drier could be overloading the circuit. You may have a short circuit in your dryer. But you may also have a lint build-up in the vent line causing the dryer to overheat. If neither of these are the case, you need to have a professional check it out.
Can you connect an electrical shower into the same circuit as the tank immersion heater?
Would be best not to ... especially if both, when turned on, will exceed the amperage rating of the breaker to which they are connected.
Why does your dryer keep tripping the circuit breaker?
Electric dryers typically are 220 volts and need a 30 amp, 2-pole circuit breaker. A 15 amp breaker would quickly trip if overloaded with a dryer. You may need a wiring upgrade (to 10 gauge) and a new 2-pole breaker for 30 Amps. You should also not be using two separate breakers for one 220 volt circuit; they should be either one unit or two that have their handles mechanically connected together. Hire an electrician.

What might make the air conditioner and the dryer go out at the same time this happened twice in the same month?
It must be on the same circuit in your breaker box. They both need dedicated circuits for them.

Why is one 1875 watt hair dryer less powerful than another 1875 watt hair dryer?
Dryers have power ratings given to them by approval agencies such as Underwriter's Laboratory. This rating is primarily given so that a user can match the power requirement of an appliance with the power rating of the electrical service to which it is connected. For example, a 20 amp circuit breaker is capable of supplying about 2,400 watts of continuous power without tripping a breaker. The intent is that if you have a 20 amp circuit, you can look at the approval agency power rating of all of the appliances you wish to connect to that circuit and, if they total less than rating of the circuit breaker, they won't trip the breaker. The only power requirement limitation a hair dryer manufacturer must adhere to is that the actual electrical power used by the dryer is less than the rated power. The actual power usage of a number of dryers that we tested, all of which have been rated by UL as 1,875 wats used between 900 and 1,300 watts. Another factor is how fast the hair dryer blows air. The more mass of air blown across the coils of the heater in a hair dryer per unit time for the same amount of electrical power applied to said heater coils, the cooler the air coming out of the nozzle. In other words, the longer the air is in contact with the heater coils the hotter it gets. If it passes over the heater coils very quickly, it doesn't have time to get as hot.

What can you do if you're newly installed dryer keeps tripping the electrical panel repeatadly and it also trips the GFI in the Garage at the same time?
If the GFI that is tripping is a different circuit, there is electrical leakage between the circuit the GFI is controlling, and the dryer circuit. It is possible that there is some cross wiring in the electrical box. I would strongly recommend getting a licensed electrician to look at it, preferably before you have a fire. If the GFI is the same circuit as the one where the dryer is plugged in, you might want to have the dryer checked for leakage to ground. You should also check the dryer circuit's rating against the rating of the breaker in its circuit. A dryer typically takes 30A on usually a single two-gang breaker; if you have a larger dryer that pulls, say, 45A, a 30A breaker will always pop. It sounds to me like a bad electrician has, instead of buying a proper two-gang 30-A breaker, installed your dryer across two circuits, one being the garage GFI circuit; the dryer, because it pulls 220V, pulls an unbalanced load across the GFI and triggers it, and the other circuit breaker is triggered because it loses the extra power provided through the GFI. I cannot emphasize this enough: get this checked out and fixed. Now. Before you get a house fire.
Can you have a gas dryer and a washing machine on the same dedicated 20 amp service?
An electrician would put in two separate circuits since there is no telling in future that gas dryer might be replaced. You need to look at the breaker protecting the circuit and see if the current from the dryer and washer when added together don't exceed 80% of the breaker rating. Also the start up current for the dryer tumbler and washing machine motor don't add up to more than the breaker rating when added together. This is where problems will occur since start up currents may be 6 times running current.
Can you use a range 220 for a dryer 220?
The plugs are different. The prongs are straight on one and angled on the other. The wire and breaker are the same. You can either change the outlet or the cord.
Are vented and insulated the same thing on a water heater?
not even in the same state
Can you use a 60 amp breaker for a electric stove?
If this is the main service in your home then you probably could not run both appliances at the same time. A range has a 40 amp breaker and a dryer has a 30 amp breaker protecting the feeders to these appliances. Even though both appliances do not draw the maximum current that the breaker allows it would be close. With other devices in use through out the home with the range and dryer on at the same time it will probably trip the panels 60 amp breaker.
How is heat transferred to water in a water heater?
In a gas water heater: The gas flame warms the water, exactly the same way as a gas stove burner does for a pan of water on the stove. In an electric water heater, an element - same as an electric range element, but a different shape - heats up from electrical current, and transfers that heat to the water.
What is a heater coil and a heater core?
The heater coil and a heater core is the same thing. Hot water circulates from the engine and through the heater core then back to engine generating heat for your heater system.
