Just bought our first electric dryer , wewe have always used gas in the past . No natgas here , and propane would require installing a big tank . So what size brbreaker do I need in the panel to power this thing ? Current draw according to the model plate says it dawaws 22-24 amps , but there's also the start current surge - I'm not sure if the heating element comes on at power up . So will a 30A breaker handle this , or do I need to go with a 40 ? -- Snag
