I had a service call today. Here is what happened. The ladies washer stopped working. I put a meter on the receptacle and got 118 volts, line to neutral. And line to ground, same thing. So the power was there right? Plug in washer, nothing! However when I plug the washer in any other receptacle, it worked! I was thinking, bad neutral?
This is a dedicated separate line. Down to the panel, check power at washer breaker with meter...same reading 118 Volts.
Anyways, to make a long story short. It was a faulty breaker. It was letting the voltage through but not the amps. My meter would read it, yet nothing plugged in would work.
Does this make sense? I have never come across this before.
