It should take a two pole (220V) 50 amp breaker and matching plug wired with # 8 or # 6 gauge wire. Check your manual.

Why do you need a double 30A pole for an electric dryer if you only have one pole left in your box?

The dryer is 220VAC. You need a double pole breaker to get 220 out of a home breaker panel. Perhaps you should contact an electrician who understands wiring so that you don't burn your house down.

Is 60 amps enough to run a household dryer?

60 amps is twice the amount that you need for a household dryer. What you need is a two pole 30 amp breaker feeding a three conductor #10 cable. A dryer needs a neutral wire, hence the three wire cable for a 240 volt device.


Why won't the Whirlpool Duet Electric Dryer heat up after the 220 fuse box blew out what could be the problem and how do I correct it?

Your heating element is going out and that is why the fuse blew as well. You will need to have the heating element replaced in order for the dryer to work like it did when you bought it.


Can you have a gas dryer and a washing machine on the same dedicated 20 amp service?

An electrician would put in two separate circuits since there is no telling in future that gas dryer might be replaced. You need to look at the breaker protecting the circuit and see if the current from the dryer and washer when added together don't exceed 80% of the breaker rating. Also the start up current for the dryer tumbler and washing machine motor don't add up to more than the breaker rating when added together. This is where problems will occur since start up currents may be 6 times running current.


What might make the air conditioner and the dryer go out at the same time this happened twice in the same month?

It must be on the same circuit in your breaker box. They both need dedicated circuits for them.


Your electrical dryer keeps popping the circuit breaker?

You may have other devices on the same circuit and adding the current draw of the drier could be overloading the circuit. You may have a short circuit in your dryer. But you may also have a lint build-up in the vent line causing the dryer to overheat. If neither of these are the case, you need to have a professional check it out.
