It's important to first check the electrical requirements for the clothes dryer and compare them to the fuse box capacity. If both the electric stove and clothes dryer require a similar voltage and amperage, you may need to hire a professional to install a new dedicated circuit for the dryer. Avoid overloading the existing circuits without proper guidance as it can be a safety hazard.
