Hi, first post here. I'm renting and since day 1, this dryer fails to produce heat about 1 in 5 times I run it. It turns. But no heat. The first time it happened, the complex sent their handyman. The report said the breaker needed to be flipped. Or it might have said that I should flip the breaker off then on. I don't remember. It was 2 years ago. But ever since then, whenever this happens, I flip the breaker off then on again. That always works. Could just be a coincidence though. The breaker is never in the off position when this happens.

The problem I'm having is proving to the handyman that there is an issue. Whenever I report the problem, the dryer magically produces heat for him by the time he gets here. Considering that the problem might be the dryer or it might be the breaker box, I'm wondering what could be done to figure out which is to blame.

Thanks!
