Had a dishwasher that wouldn't work some time back. Really puzzling, because a meter said voltage (although a bit low) was present. Turns out the breaker had been arcing for some time.....contacts were eaten away, but not so eaten that they wouldn't let the voltage through. Plenty voltage, but no current. New breaker solved the problem.

Learned all about service boxes about 5-7 years ago at our cabin when a tree fell across my power lines and ripped the entire service box from the outside wall. Fun time (although the time under the cabin wasn't) rebuilding everything.

Follow simple rules and pay attention to detail if you play with house wiring, and undertand the relationship of wire gauge to amount of current running through those same wires.

If in ANY doubt pay the piper and hire an electrician.
