[ad#block]Electrical Question: What are the electric wire connections for a wall oven?

There is direct wiring into the oven that is three-prong. We are putting in a wall-mount plug-in that is four-prong. How do I get ground for the wall mount plate? The existing oven is now grounded to the frame.

This electrical question came from Kevin, a Homeowner from Poughkeepsie, New York.

Electrical Tips to Help You Wire it Right

The Safest Way to Test Electrical Devices and Identify Electric Wires!

The Non-Contact Electrical Tester
This is a testing tool that I have had in my personal electrical tool pouch for years, and is the first test tool I grab to help identify electrical wiring. It is a Non-contact tester that I use to easily Detect Voltage in Cables, Cords, Circuit Breakers, Lighting Fixtures, Switches, Outlets and Wires. Simply insert the end of the tester into an outlet, lamp socket, or hold the end of the tester against the wire you wish to test. Very handy and easy to use.

The Quickest Way to Check for Faulty Electrical Wiring!

The Plug-In Outlet Tester
This is the first tool I grab to troubleshoot a problem with outlet circuit wiring. This popular tester is also used by most inspectors to test for power and check the polarity of circuit wiring.
It detects probable improper wiring conditions in standard 110-125 VAC outlets Provides 6 probable wiring conditions that are quick and easy to read for ultimate efficiency Lights indicate if wiring is correct and indicator light chart is included Tests standard 3-wire outlets UL Listed Light indicates if wiring is incorrect Very handy and easy to use.

Strip Off Wire Insulation without Nicking and Damaging the Electric Wire!

The Wire Stripper and Wire Cutter
My absolute favorite wire stripping tool that I have had in my personal electrical tool pouch for years, and this is the tool I use to safely strip electrical wires.
This handy tool has multiple uses:
The wire gauges are shown on the side of the tool so you know which slot to use for stripping insulation.
The end of the tool can be used to grip and bend wire which is handy for attaching wire onto the screw terminals of switches and outlets..

The wire stripper will work on both solid and stranded wire. This tool is Very Handy and Easy to Use.

    I have a new stove that has green black brown and red brown and red are linked to house wiring which has green black white and red dose the white wire go to the brown?

  2. Dave Rongey says:

    Hi Evan,
    It would be very helpful to know what country your are located in and the exact make and model number of the new stove. In the mean time I would refer to the installation manual which came with the new electric stove for complete wiring accuracy and reliability.

    I have bought a Defy Model 835 stove and want to connect it to the main power supply
    there are three wires that needs to be connected to the stove (red, black and green/yellow)
    I’m not sure where to connect it on the stove. Could you please assist me.

  4. Dave Rongey says:

    Hi Charl,
    Defy 835 ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

    Connection to the Power Supply:
    The Defy 835 has a type ‘Y’ supply cord connection which must be connected to the mains through an All pole isolating switch which has a minimum clearance between the contacts of 3 mm. In All poles. A means for disconnection must be provided in the fixed wiring. This appliance must be earthed.

    The power consumption is printed on the serial number label attached to the stove upper back panel of the appliance.

    The Defy stove is best installed by a licensed electrician, who will ensure that the oven is correctly connected and safely earthed.

    I hope this helps,
    Dave
