  • roper dryer overheats?

    this one has me baffled, my dryer would not heat so i took it apart, when the element was out it would work when screwed back in place it would not,so i tested everything and the only thing i could think off was the high and low thermostats,i changed them and it worked for a day or so, then on one load it practically melted the clothes then shut off and the timing dial barely moved, now it won't start so i checked the fuse in the back and that is bad so today i am going to change thatbut what if it works again and burns the clothes and shuts off again, any ideas.i am a better than average handyman but this one has me going in cycles i mean circles,help.

  • I have 2 125 amp breaker boxes i need to add a 50 amp a 20 amp and a 15 amp breaker would it be safe to split?

    the 2 125 amp boxes are for a home and a cafe built into a double size row home 1 breaker box has about 140 amps of breakers in it and 5 or 6 slots open the other has about 170 amps worth of breakers in it and 8 or 9 slots open, would it be safe to add a 50,a20 and a 15 amp breaker split up between these 2 boxes, I know that all items will not be used at the same time but being a house and a cafe the stoves, fridges, and compressors will most likely be used at the same time. any help would be appreciated, THANK YOU.
