We want to replace our fuse box above our dryer (it’s a sub panel). The round screw in fuses are constantly blowing. We have a new fuse box and circuit breaker switch to replace it. The question is how do we wire it?
First :[I] Disconnect the sub-panel at the main panel.
[/I]Second : [I]After verifying that the power is off (use a good meter) remove the wires from L1, L2, and N (Supply from Main)
[/I]Third : [I]Remove wires from T1, T2, and N (Lines going to Dryer)
[/I]Fourth : [I]Remove “Edison Base” sub panel
[/I]Fifth : [I]Install new breaker panel
[/I]Sixth : [I]Connect L1, L2, N (Supply from Main)
[/I]Seventh : [I]Connect wires( from Dryer) to breaker. This would be a dual pole. L1 to top half of breaker, L2 to bottom half of breaker. N to neutral buss bar (long silver bar).
[/I]Eighth : [I]With breaker in off posistion, snap-in to panel.
[/I]Ninth :[I] Turn main breaker back on
[/I]Tenth : [I]Turn on breaker in sub-panel.
Dry your wash.

thank you for your quick response:)
our wires are red, white, black and what appears to be 1 copper wire which would be l1,l2,n??
also, it had 2 fuses before and now will have 2 breakers, does that change things/wiring? thanks again
Black= L1, [COLOR=Red]Red = [COLOR=Black]L2, White= Neutral [/COLOR][/COLOR][COLOR=Red][COLOR=Black]Bare Copper to [COLOR=Lime]Green [/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR][COLOR=Black]ground screw.[/COLOR]
Should be a dual breaker (two connected with a bar). L1 = top screw, L2 bottom screw.
