Dryer Keeps Tripping Breaker – Berkley

If your dryer keeps tripping the breaker or blowing a fuse, it’s a sign that something’s wrong with the unit or electrical system.

At Tonny’s Appliance Repair, we help homeowners in Berkley quickly diagnose and fix dryers that shut off due to electrical overloads or short circuits.

Why Does a Dryer Trip the Breaker?

Modern dryers use a lot of power-especially electric models-and several issues can cause repeated tripping.

Most common causes:

  • Shorted heating element
  • Broken motor or start switch
  • Loose or damaged power cord
  • Overloaded circuit (shared outlet)
  • Defective terminal block or wiring
  • Internal short in control board
  • Ground fault from moisture or lint
  • Failed capacitor or thermal overload

If the dryer trips your breaker every time it runs (or after a few minutes), it’s time for professional repair.

Signs the Dryer Is Causing a Breaker Problem

    • Breaker trips immediately after starting
    • Breaker trips mid-cycle
    • Dryer won’t turn on unless reset
    • Outlet or plug feels hot
    • Visible burn marks on outlet or cord
    • No error codes-just a shutdown
