sounds like that u r only getting 120 volts instead of 220 i would suspect either a wire has burnt off or something or a wire is lose in the receptacle or possibly one side of the breaker has burnt out in the breaker box
the 30amp breaker is bad but when running on a 20 which is good its not enough of amps to support thats why it ran for 2hours before it ..so try changing that breaker to a new one
Throwing the MAIN BREAKER should not happen. Calculate the distance to your main box. Tell me the wire gauge or breaker amperage. Whatever you do, do not get a larger breaker! If its a breaker on this unit Its probably doa with current leak possibly. DO NOT USE fire hazzard IF SHE TRIPS!!! let me know if its your main breaker inthe house. Hopefully you dont have crappy cloth wiring.
You have a weak circuit breaker . Should be a 30 amp or higher . If you have access to an amp meter , split the dryer cord , separating the 3 wires (do not remove the insulation ) . If you have a black round cord ( 4 prong ) , carefully slice into and remove the black insulation in a small portion only . Check the amps on both outer wires while running dryer . Make sure the amps being pulled are lower than the circuit breaker amps . On a black cord , test the black wire and the red wire amps . If the dryer has a short , it would not run for 10 min and then throw breaker . It would be almost imediate . A bad breaker will gradually get hot and then flip , but check the dryer amps anyway to be sure .
You have a ground fault or short . Disconnect dryer and remove small panel that holds the cord. Check if any wires are frayed, loose or touching any other metal objects.
That is a common problem with many roper machines new and old. It is a problem with the circuit/system board in most cases. The boards usually have to be changed or repaired which is fairly expensive and not usually worth replacing unless it is a newer dryer.
