Hi I'm trying to connect a new stove.?

Question

On old Yellow goes 2 "N", Green goes 2 "E", Red goes 2 "A" and Black goes 2 "A". On new stove I've worked out E and N but need help with A1 & A2

Answer 1

All Gov't and State laws forbid a householder to do their own wiring, as stated it kills, also voids any insurence on the home, do you really want that? also how would you cope if a child turned on the stove and died? don't do it or try it, there is no second chances with electricity

Answer 2

call the electrician to help you if you're not experienced, you don't want to burn your house do you?

Answer 3

MATE YOU SHOULD BE USING AN ELECTRICIAN WHY RISK IT ELECTRITY CAN KILL

Answer 4

Todd N, perhaps you should read the The Electrical Safety Act 1998.

Joe P stick with a Licensed Electrician, for your own safety, and your family.

Answer 5

The red and the black are your two hot leads. Connect the red to one and the black to another. Their particular placement is not important (A1 -or- A2).

"Yoda" - There is no Federal or State law forbidding a homeowner from hooking up a new electric stove. He isn't even attempting to rewire the outlet, just hook up to the receptacle that is already there. And no it would -not- void his homeowners insurance. Even if he were to burn the house down in the process.^

Edit - "ampy" - I am curious as to how you think that (repealed) code applies to this situation.

I suppose you also think Home Depot, Lowe's and Sears send a licensed electrician over when the delivery person delivers and hooks up new stoves, dryers or washers (you probably think the latter requires the services of a licensed plumber as well).
