dryer/range circuit
I don't think it would have occurred to me to have even tried this, but the sister of a friend of my husband's has been plugging a dryer into a range receptacle as there is no dryer outlet in the house she's renting. She's been blowing fuses. In an e-mail exchange I've told her that to the best of my knowledge, range circuits are usually rated higher than dryer circuits with larger wiring, larger amp ratings and the appliance shouldn't be pulling enough juice to be blowing fuses I wouldn't think. However I don't know if there would be any other issues involved that I don't know about. Otherwise I told her she may have a short and probably needs to have it checked by an electician. I've asked her about the size of the fuse, but I doubt she knows. Any other reasons she'd be blowing fuses?Read More
