(Life Continued) More recently, my gas dryer stopped heating so clothes basically danced around for an hour and came out wet as when they went in. I knew immediately we were looking at a bad element or a switch wasn’t switching. It was a Sunday and the appliance parts store wasn’t open so I had a brilliant plan to hook up the old electric dryer in the garage just to get by until I had a moment to fix the gas one. The only problem was it ran on 220v and my garage only afforded 110v outlets. The big box fixit store was open so I ran up and bought some wire, an outlet, and a new double pole breaker switch. I figure it would be easier to just install a line to get this plan in action. Electricity is to be respected. I wanted to do things right and avoid a 220v shock but I haven’t worked with juice that much. I called a buddy and got some advice and was ready to knock this job out. It was getting late and without daylight, I’d be doing the job in the dark with a flashlight. Quickly I flipped the main breaker and started looking at the panel. What I found was a double pole 220v breaker labelled “Dryer”. The hell? After looking around where the washer and dryer were originally stationed upstairs, I found a 220v outlet staring back at me. Long story short again, I moved the electric dryer to the outlet and clothes are drying as we speak. I now have some spiffy new unpackaged electric parts that I no longer need. Fools rush in. Here endeth the lesson!
