Superior Fix Handyman

Clearing some main drains out, replacing a remote for a ceiling fan, replacing a light and a smoke detector.

Got called out for an electric stove that “wasn’t working.”
Turned out the stove wasn’t the problem — the electrical was.

This house has an old Wadsworth panel, and the stove was on a 20-amp, 240V breaker — totally undersized. It kept tripping… and here’s the kicker:
the breaker didn’t even look tripped. I had to turn it OFF and back ON to get power.

Wiring was sized correctly, so I upgraded it to a 30-amp breaker.

While I was in there, I found another hidden problem:
a 50-amp dryer breaker feeding 40-amp wire. Not in use now, but if someone ever plugged a dryer into it, the breaker wouldn’t trip. Fire risk.

Because it’s an older Wadsworth panel, UL-listed replacement breakers aren’t cheap —
Well over $100 each — but it was the right way to fix it.

End result:
✔ Stove works
✔ Breakers sized correctly
✔ Future fire risk eliminated

Old panels hide dangerous stuff most people never catch.

Replaced a bathroom fan exhaust motor, replaced a bad pull chain light. The red wire nuts you see in the picture is prone to burn and I seen quite a few so Everytime I see them I replaced the wire nut. Looking them up apparently the plastic is thinner in that area and when there is heat it burns up over time. That's just my experience when I see those types of red wire nuts. Also got called for a sewage back up, crawl space was full but I was able to clear it on the roof. This is a job where you say well it's better you than me. Here is a video if you want to see the struggle lol https://youtu.be/nvJaRN1Ca8Y?si=CvLHLZVyRPdgdqsh
