Nov 11, 2023 at 18:25 | comment | added | Ed Beal | @max, it is likely the 60 amp breaker from the main is powering the sub. It also looks like the tape is covering a open slot, your path forward may be to put in a quad breaker, all the slots look to be approved for tandems, a quad 20/40-40/20 would give you a spare 20 and the 40 you want. It looks like a mix of breaker brands in the panel already and that ends up being common with these older panels, if you can post a clear photo of the sub with its dead face off we could give better advice. | |
Nov 10, 2023 at 21:08 | comment | added | Max | @EdBeal i'd like to get rid of the 50amp breaker in the garage and have the breaker for the EV charger there instead. i'll provide a picture of the inside of the garage sub-pabel asap | |
Nov 10, 2023 at 4:09 | comment | added | ThreePhaseEel | Is there no model/listing labeling anywhere on the garage subpanel? | |

Nov 10, 2023 at 1:28 | comment | added | Ed Beal | It is confusing, I only see 1 garage outlets on that panel can a 60 amp push that panel sure, pull the dead face off and provide a pic of the wiring I believe manassehkatz is right | |
Nov 10, 2023 at 0:28 | comment | added | Max | Thanks for your quick feedback! Nothing else happens besides the fact that the oven turns off (if i flip the 60amp breaker, everything in the garage is still working) - it is really confusing for me as well :D | |
Nov 9, 2023 at 21:32 | comment | added | manassehkatz-Moving 2 Codidact | This is very confusing. It is extremely unlikely that there is an "oven breaker" in two different panels. More likely is that the breaker in one panel is the feed breaker to the other panel, and the breaker in that other panel (subpanel, by definition) is the actual "oven breaker". So need to turn only one "oven breaker" off and see what is affected, if anything, besides the oven. | |
