Problem for Maytag PYE2300AY Electric Dryer

Circuit breaker trips after 10 minutes

By kim825 on Nov 09, 2009

" "

I have my Maytag Neptune dryer now for 10 year without ever a problem, but now my circuit breaker trips after 10 minutes of use. I wait 10 minutes, reset my breaker, start the dryer and then again after about 10 minutes, the breaker trips again. What seems to be the problem?

Thanks so much for your help.

- BTW, the breaker gets very warm before it trips. Does this help narrow down the problem?

could be a weak breaker,or poor high resistance connection from panel to dryer plug, then have someone check the current draw on the dryer while operating and see if it's within specs of the machine tag, if it's higher than that you may have a defective motor or heating element to case causing a higher than normal current draw

- have someone or yourself check the current draw on unit when in full operation with a "Clamp-Meter",like previously stated it could be a "loose,corroded,or bad connection" that's making your dryer trip the breaker during operation,this is the way to start,No parts to buy,till you find out for sure,thank you let me know
