Been having some dryer problems, see electrical appliences forum if interested. I think now that it is more of an electrical problem than an applience problem. On this dryer outlet i get a reading across the black and red but nothing between the white and red or the white and black. I have a cheap voltage tester that just has lights that come on if there is current.. On the dryer when plugged is , I have the little light bulb comes on inside the dryer but other than that I have nothing. Any help would be much appreciated Thanks Griff

Hi guys, I'm a newbie, however i did browse the forums to try to find an answer to my question before posting again. I didn't find what i was looking for so here it goes. I replaced my old razor plug in the bathroom with a GFCI receptacle. Right off the bat, the plug worked fine. However the light in the bathroom remained on even though the switch was off. When i turned on the switch the breaker jumped in the basement. I've believe i've exhausted my wiring possibilities but I still can't fiqure it out. The box where the receptacle goes has 2 cables entering it. The 1st cable which i determined to be the "line" has a black,red, and white wire. The black is live all the time. The second cable (the "load") has only a black and white wire. The light switch also has a black and white wire so im assuming the black and white wires going to the switch are coming from the actual light ficture and not the box. So thats a light ficture, GFCI receptacle, and light switch. Please help!!! thanks. :confused:
