Since you used 10/3 I am assuming this unit is a 4 wire hook up and that the old house also used a 4 wire hook up. Is this correct or is it something else? The first thing I would check is the power to the unit. Try flipping the breaker off/on slowly a couple times, sometimes you can loose half the line without actually tripping the breaker. If this does nothing, check the voltage at the plug L1 to L2 should be 240 volts L1 to Neutral and L2 to Neutral, both should be 120 volts. Neutral to ground should be 0 ohms. If OK Unplug the unit and check the wires at the terminal strip in the machine to make sure none are loose or burned out If OK Check the power at the terminal strip. [COLOR="Red"]Be careful as 240 volts is lethal !!! [/COLOR] File Attachment(s): LTE243.pdf (276kb) downloaded 1 time(s).

The breaker that I had installed was only hitting on one pole so I was just getting half of the amps needed. thanks again, I dont think I would have gotten it without your help.
