New dryer keeps blowing circuit breakers
Why does my brand new Whirlpool dryer (WED49STBW) throw the circuit breaker every time I turned it on. First time I turned it on, I had power but no heat. So I went into the garage and flipped the dryers two circuit breakers on and off. Dryer started running and heating but threw both circuit breakers. What could be the problem?
Is dit een goede vraag?

Says add a 30 amp cord on back of dryer and there are two conjoined circuit breakers with 30 on each breaker. Cord is not hot to touch, just tripped breaker after 1 minute of run time. Thank you for your answers.

It's a brand new cord bought with the dryer so my assumption it is the correct amps for the dryer. Thanks for your help.

Don't assume. Look at the numbers on the cord and let us know what they are. Do you have a multimeter?

Do not own a multimeter.
