Estate whirlpool GAS dryer. cord gets hot and also sparks when plugging in; then shortly after, blows the circuit breaker. It works fine if i put an adaptor bypassing the ground prong.

VERY DANGEROUS YOU NEED TO CHNAGE OUT THE ELECTRICAL PLUG CORD AND CHECK THE TERMINAL BLOCK As u have a short somewhere its easy to change the terminal block

When sparks fly from connector to electrical main panel and to me it means overheating of wire, what kind of danger can it caused to other wire (or circuits)sharing the same conduit?

Overheated wire can catch wire and melt other wires.
Sparks from a loose connection usually will not damage other wires, unless the short circuit has been going on for a while... but usually a short circuit will trip breaker or the arcing will completely short out and no more electricity will flow

Problem can be undersized wire and breaker or mismatched wire size and breaker rating

Hi, I have a nice master B150D that ran flawlessly last season,brought it out this year replaced nozzle,spark plug,new fuel. Fired it up ran for 30 sec. pop's the circuit breaker,reset,runs 20 sec....

if a circuit breaker pops i assume its an RCELD or is it a MCB type
it is some leakage to earth somewhere in the electrics
if it runs and pops the breaker
and you can plug it in and it will sit there
then i assume its something do do with the fan system
or ignitor . driver system
look for sources of leakage to earth
and you could measure the peek current it uses with a multimeter inline
set to AC amps

anyway its defo not a gonner just some bad electrics

Sorry cant solve this but mine did the same. Mine is almost 4 years old now. Have you found out what the problem was with yours? Have you sent it back? Nicky.

My Fridgidaire FEF366BCC just popped my breaker

This sounds like a main control problem. More specifically like one of the relays is shorted. You will need to acess the main control and carefully inspect it for any burn marks. If you don't see any disconnect the main power supply wire going to the main control. Then plug it back in if it trips the breaker the problem is in the power cord or wiring from the cord junction to the main control. If it does not trip the breaker the problem is the main control. Here is a link that should help http://appliancehelponline.com/ovenerc.html

No electrical power

You must find the reason the main breaker is popping ...

I'd start by unplugging everything and remove all breakers. Turn the main on ... does it pop? If it pops here look between the breaker panel and the end of your cord. Turn the power off - reinstall the first breaker - turn power back on. What happens ... keep doing this until the main or individual breaker pops - investigate that circuit to find your short.

If you get all breakers back in with out popping anything ... start plugging stuff back in. Something is shorting somewhere.

Let me know what you find please.

thanks

My problem with my AKT3650 is the unit sparked and threw a breaker at only one control. Even turned off the unit will throw a breaker and spark. I was thinking it was just one of the switch components -...

So doing anything will throw the breaker? Must have a shorted wire either going to ground on the cooktop of where the cord wires in at the cook top. Dont know exactly but be looking for wiring with insulation gone and rubbing the frame or each other
