We had just gotten a new circuit breaker panel installed in our home. Does that mean all new wires were installed
Are now maintaining the functioning of all electrical branches in our home such as that of our garage that
Opens electrically?
Also, yesterday I plugged A plug onto an extension cord
And its literally sparked. Does that mean that the extension
Cord is no good? Or does that mean that there is still something wrong on our electrical system?
Thank you. Donna

Doubt you got new wiring, the price would have included cutting into walls and ceilings to install the wires. Your second question doesn't make sense, please clarify. If you have something already connected to an extension cord and it is switched on, the plug end will usually spark. Make sure that nothing is on the cord, plug it in and let us know what happens.

I read about washer circuit which makes me thinly its is just for a washing machine. Is there a such thing as a
Dryer curcuit" for the clothes dryer? And is the dryer included on the main circuit separate from the washer? Is there separate wiring for each?

If the dryer is electric it would require 240v power, if it is gas it would require 110volt power and the washer would be 110 volt power

Yes, usually the Washer will be on a 120 volt single pole 20 amp circuit, and the Dryer would be on its own 240 Volt/30 amp circuit. The receptacle matches the dryer cord, May be 3 or 4 wire.

Being that our dryer "electrically" caught on fire last year,
Should, aside from our washer circuit wires being replaced
At the time which bad washer circuit wires caused the fire, aside from that, should the real old wires in our
"old"main circuit breaker been replaced at the same
Time in order to prevent another dryer fire even on a new dryer or appliance? Thank you for answering all of my questions since my husband and I will know what to take care of in our home .

Please stop starting new questions on the same subject, just answer your own question to add more info.
