Dryer turns but does not dry?
First thing I'd check is the fuse box. My dryer would sort of warm the clothes, but take forever to dry them. It turned out I had a weak circuit breaker. It would trip, but not vigorously enough to trip the counterpart that was connected to it. It looked like it was on, but it wasn't. Cycling the circuit breakers was good for a couple loads, then it would stop working again. I replaced the circuit breaker and never had another problem.
Can you hook up a 240V circuit in series to a dryer and electric range?
The short answer is no. First off I assume you mean "can you have a dryer and an electric range on the same circuit?" (If they were actually wired in series, then you couldn't use your range if the dryer was off) In theory you could have them on the same circuit you just need to make sure that the wiring and the circuit they are on can handle the number of amps the two of them could draw together. If your breaker isn't big enough, it kill the power to the range while you are cooking dinner. If the wiring can't handle the load, then there is a fire risk. A dryer is usually on a 30amp circuit and a range is usually on a 50amp circuit, so to have them together would require an 80amp circuit, which will be difficult to find a breaker and wiring for.
Where is the circuit breaker for the power windows of a 1988 mercury grand marquis?
The 1988 Mercury Grand Marquis circuit breaker for the power windows can be found in the fuse box. The circuit breaker will be in the first column, third from the bottom.
Can you replace a 20 amp circuit breaker with a 25 amp circuit breaker?
No. The breaker must protect the circuit components such as wiring, outlets and switches that are connected to the breaker. Therefore if you have a 30 amp circuit as dictated by its components you need to protect it with a 30 amp or less breaker.
I recently had some electrical work done in my basement and since then my dryer isn't drying the clothes as fast and the light no longer works is this connected?
It sounds like only one side/leg of the 220v circuit is connected or part of the breaker is not turned on... first I would check the breaker box... find the two switch breaker that runs the dryer and turn it off and back on. If this does not cure the problem, call the electrician back and tell him to come correct his mistake...

Should a 3 wire 250 volt drier be grounded?
Yes, most definitely. Provisions for the ground wire in the dryer receptacle should be used. The feeder cable's ground wire is first grounded to the receptacle's junction box ground screw and then taken to the receptacle's ground terminal. The dryer plug configuration will match up to the dryers four wire plug in cable. When the plug is connected into the dryer receptacle the ground terminals of both devices will match and the ground wire will be continuous from the voltage source at the distribution panel and complete the circuit at the dryer. This low impedance electrical path will conduct any ground fault that could occur at the dryer and trip the feeder breaker of the dryer circuit, there by removing the fault current from the dryer circuit.
Do you shut the water valve first or the hot water circuit breaker when going away for an extended vacation?

Can you operate a 30 amp dryer on a 50 amp receptacle?
Yes and no. You can't put a 30A outlet on a 50A breaker as it will be a fire hazard. You can put a 50A outlet on it safely. Then you can plug the 30A load into it, but this is unwise and can be dangerous if you don't put fuses in your pigtail adapter. The best solution: Go ahead and install your 30A outlet but replace the 50A breaker with a 30A breaker. This is the safest and cleanest solution.
Kenmore series 80 dryer not turning?
There are many reasons a dryer is not turning on. First make sure the plug has not gotten loose and check the breaker. If it was neither of those call a repair man.
