How To Install a 30 amp Dryer Circuit With Breaker and Outlet 

I'm doing this exact job tomorrow AFTER I fish the wire down the walls. I had done this 50 years ago so this was a good refresher. "See one, do one , teach one".

You make me feel like an apprentice on the job with a friendly pro who is not dedicated to ruining my day. You also detail fairly well. I would rather hear things again and again than for some guy to assume I already know this, and this, and that. I just hit the like, and subscribe. Thanks

Thank you for this video, I agree with all the comments. It really helped me, every electrician I talk to say they'll do it and don't. I learned what the wires are for and the positions. Which now gives me knowledge and confidence. Again, thank you.

Thanks again for this video, I installed my dryer outlet by following your instructions. 👍

Great video im putting in a new line to my dryer so this really helps

I spent few hours to find this. Thanks. You explain all from A to Z)))

Guy reminds me of a old guy I worked with last summer wired aleast 4 boxes with him more then I can remember service calls for light fixtures and ceiling fans and outlet replacements lol cool guy 😂

Brilliant Work, Thanks.Just needed a fresh reminder.

Glad your uploading again!!! 💪🇮🇹

Thank you. Haven't ever done 220 but it all worked out beautifully and safe.

Great Video & Explanation of Wiring The RightWay! Thanks ForThe Upload Keep up The Great Work That You Do From Canada.

Brother from the northeast best friggen video hands down no elaborate BS straight to the point, you are the man!!!

Lol u nailed it with hearing a pop and the wife yelling fire😅 I messed up changing dryer plug. Mixed the black and white.

Great video. Only one I could find that hooked up the 4 wires and breaker in the breaker box. Also good explanation for the reason from going from 3 to 4 wire recepticle.

Perfect explanation. Just what I was looking for. Thank you

I really like all the little side details and prerequisite information peppered in this tutorial. There's a lot of higher-budget stuff around that's not nearly as informative.

Loved the Ending! Thank you🤗

thank you for making this video

Lmao I love the ending man thanks for this video. Very helpful. I think I mis connected my outlet thanks for this!

This guy is great. Subscribed.

I think you’re hilarious. I recently wired up my breaker and the outlet for a dryer, and I definitely was a little nervous about turning on the breaker. You made me laugh so hard when you were teasing us about it.

00:43 The counting made me burst out laughing 🤣🤣

Great video thank you!

Thanks for the video

Funny way of sharing what you know, in a humorous manner, thx

Perfect! Exactly what I’ve been looking for. Nobody explains the panel part. And you made this video very entertaining! Hopefully my wife doesn’t yell at me though 🤣

Thanks... I really like you teaching style

GREAT VIDEO

Excellent video

Nice video!!!

Top notch info

You funny dude. Great tutorial

Very helpful thanks😂😊

It looks like the wiring on the hot water tank are 12 ga is 10ga okay for the run of about 10 ft and 10ga 3 wire outfit a dryer that’s even closer to the power panel, also I have a Meg welder the plug has a ground and a small and large knife blade the the outlet shows 120/240 at 50amp, how big should the wire be and what size breaker do I need

Hey guys what if the new 30A breaker doesn’t fit in the old box? Do you just get two 30 breaker that are the same type as the old breakers and run the two hots to each? Thanks for any advice

come on askmediy , you make it look easy.

make it very clear to me. good job. thank you1

That was just like standing next to my uncle while he's teaching me something! Well done sir, thank you making this tutorial.

Thank you!

I was convinced until the end 😅 adrenaline just shocked my body

Thanks!

“Let’s just say this is being inspected. WhiCh iT’s sUppOSed tO Be 🤪.” Had me cracking up lol

Excellent explanation... should I use 10/3 romex to the panel from a 30 amp inlet plug for a generator (7500 running watts)? Or can I use 10/2 romex?

You make me feel like I can actually do this, even though I am extremely terrified, L O L

I have old air compressor with a 10.20 nema. The only outlet I could find does not have a ground screw. Just 2 gold hot and silver neutral. I need some advice or a quick how to. Does it need to have a ground or just wire as is?

If my wire to the black dryer outlet box is damaged by a dog I feel like I could cut it shorter and move the outlet higher instead of running all wire for my outlet. I have exposed silver wires that wrap around the core that are severed but dryer still works.

Good video. Except the breaker is required to be GFCI...since 2020. And best to check the dryer cord hookup as well....kind of big things.

Beautiful 🤩 exactly what I was looking for . Question. I want to install about 5-8 240 baseboard heaters in my basement. You think 2 30 amp circuits would be enough?

Is there code for how far or close an outlet can be to the circuit box. I have to move my dryer to the opposite wall and the opposite wall contains the breaker box

Hey man when are you going to post some new videos I really like your videos

Never showed a close up inside the box. THE MOST IMPORTANT PART

HEY DOMINIC ,YOU DA MAN ,COME UP TO NOVA SCOTIA AND DO SOME ELECTRICAL ,,

This guy is a good teacher!

Hey Dom, can I put neutral and ground wire on the same side in the panel box?

Can the green ground wire be connected to the white ground port? On 10;00 the wire is not connected.

Does it matter if you use a blue plastic box or a metal one?

I have a 220 volt electric hot water heater in my basement and want to add a switch at the top of my basement steps to turn it on and off. Can you show us how to do that and what switch to use? Thanks.

0:45 He's giving us the neutral finger

The plate cover had Togo first behind the plug

Hey, Piasan...you mentioned Old vs New dryers with electronics, the question now is, the home dryers are wired with two wire 10, i had a new washer dryer installed with electronics, should i convert the two wire to three 10 ???? access is no problem

By any chance, is your brother a botanist?

Tbis is a dumb question, but, you said 30 Amp breaker. And it's a double breaker... does that mean 15 and 15? Or 30 and 30

I would apprentice with you

That neutral wire doesn't give a.....!

what a goober

FIRST!

Nema 14-30, my 30 amp,125/250 volt, 14-30R, 3-pole, 4-wire , my 4 prong plug 30 amp electric dryer is wired to 30 amp outlet is not working why?

Extra grond wire via pig tail...? ?? I lost

Probably calling an electrician. I need to run a ground to old 3 prong dryer outlet, thankfully its like a foot away from the breaker. My 30yr old speed queen finally finally died and I'm loathing having to buy a new budget machine.

gonna leak something here... your dryer doesn't need to be using 30 amps, in fact, just a few pico amps. the reason it draws so much is because it was designed this way (on purpose), ie, the electric company needs to make money somehow. all your electronics, really, are designed to operate in the high amp range. 15amp vacuum cleaner, blender motor, etc.. turns out, a little project that draws energy out of the air feeds a heating element in the "pico amp range" and gets just as hot as your dryer's heating element. thanks to a few advancements in this field, the electric company is guaranteed to go out of business. give it a few years..

Unsat, unsafe. If you use a metal box, ground it
