    Appliances half work but not their high power draw parts like stove and clothes dryer
    Everything in our house is electrical; stove, heat, hot water, dryer etc.. Yesterday we lost hot water. A check w/a voltimeter showed power to the heating element so we thought we would need to replace it. However this morning we have found several other weird things are occurring. Our electric stove "on" light comes on but there is no power to the burners or oven. Our clothes dryer will spin but there is no heat. The hot water heater still does not work eother but all our other lights and appliances seem to be functional including our 700 watt microwave

Maytag Dryer model DE806 starts only on high setting - shrinking clothes [ 5 Answers ]

Hi, We purchased a used Maytag dryer model DE 806 5 1/2 years ago and it works OK except it does not operate on any cycle except high heat. This is obviously causing some premature clothing wear, and wrinkles the clothes horribly. I've thought of replacing it, but our brand new Kenmore...

Hair dryer will not blow on high power but will when switched to low [ 1 Answers ]

A hair dryer will not blow on high. It works when switched to low power. And when you plug it into a different outlet, it works fine on high and low. What's wrong with the first outlet?
