	Subject - Need Advice kmct1233 Hi All, Yesterday my clothes dryer stopped running a couple of times and my husband couldn't get it to keep running. He changed the circuit breaker and the dryer ran fine after that. But this morning our lights went out in several rooms. He reset circuit breaker and lights are back on. My question is does this not seem dangerous like isn't there an underlying cause for the breaker to trip after just being replaced. And one other thing I have been hearing a strange sound off and on for awhile now. It sounds like a popping noise coming from the attic of our house not crackling but a popping noise. My husband thinks it is a woodpecker but I don't. Don't know if this is even related to an electrical problem just thought would mention it. Thanks Ryan_J Get an electrician and the power company involved immediatley! I don't mean to scaer you, but it sounds to me like the utility may have an open nuetral (or the system in your house). If that is the case, there are many, many concerns to have. Don't delay!!! cs409 before you do any thing inside your house,,,,,GET AN ELECTRICIAN,,,,SOUNDS LIKE YOU HAVE SOME MAJOR PROBLEMS with your main panel box(old/bad breakers, and probably buse bars that the breakers connect to) and with the popping in the attic i would say in your attic also,,,nasty mess in a J box or live wire on a gas line, etc!! stay in touch,,,a few questions,,,did yall build this house or buy an older home,,and just how how old is this house,...
