Hello,
Nords' home improvement thread got me thinking about a problem that I've been having. Every time our washer starts its agitation cycle the lights in the house dim. I know that this probably isn't a good thing for electronics so I'm wondering how I go about troubleshooting this. So it looks like the circuit that the washer is on is has too much of a load, but wouldn't the breaker just trip when this happens (or is it just that it's too quick for the breaker to trip?) Any good book on troubleshooting household electrical problems?
Thanks.
