I need to change the breaker so my dryer can put out the heat that is required. How do I change a breaker inside the breaker box?? :confused:

What does the breaker have to do with the dryer putting out enough heat?
How do you know it is bad?
Breakers RARELY fail, yet folks love to immediately think they are the cause when there is a problem.
True, it is (usually) a cheap fix if it is the problem, but this is not usually the case.

What size breaker do you currently have serving the dryer?
How old is the wiring in your home?
Gas, or electric?
Then a good question asked by stan------->

Have you checked that maybe the heating element is going out on you? Usually starts this way, a decline in the heat output then one day bam no heat at all.
