Hello,
Back in November I had a dedicated circuit installed for a garage door opener. Over the next few days and ever since I noticed my dryer would sometimes be blinking "PF" (power fail). The breaker was never tripped and by the time I'd notice the error code on the dryer, everything would be working again. The day the dedicated circuit was installed, the electrician asked why the circuit that runs the dryer was OFF (this is odd because I have never seen the breaker tripped but somehow it was when he started working in the electrical box). I explained that it wasn't off...it runs the washer, dryer, a garage refrigerator and a light. I showed him the ice cream in the freezer to prove it.
Now..I am having intermittent power loss on that 1 circuit. It's in the garage and the only thing running on it continuously is the refrigerator.
I called him back out and he changed out the outlet for me but it hasn't made a difference.
Sometimes it stops working and I turn the breaker off and wait either a few hours or a day and then its fine again.
Could he have accidentally done something?
Could it be a continuity issue with the main line of the electric company?
Any advice would be appreciated. I already paid for the dedicated circuit and a trouble call. I really can't afford to keep calling him back.

- TL;DR
- Issue with intermittent power loss, no breaker tripped
