I came across a couple of hand dryers (120V, 20a) that when turned on immediately dim the lights. I tested the voltage when the dryers turn on and the leg which they are attached to drops to 85 volts from 125 and the other leg on the system goes up to 155 the whole time the unit is running. They still put out heat and blow air. I checked the connections in the panel and everything is tight. I haven't gotten into the dryer yet. We have other dryers (the same ones)on our property that don't do this. I suspect something inside the dryer, perhaps a coil going bad. Any thoughts or past experiences that could help?
