Wiring a Range
Electrical Question: I?m trying to replace a cooktop range. The current range came with the house.
Wire Range
Megan asks:
I?m trying to replace a cooktop range.
The current range came with the house.
I don?t know if it was installed by a professional or the previous homeowners.
The house was built in the 70s; I don?t know how long the range has been there.
The connection was somewhat of a mess with lots of bulky wire and tape (see first pic).
Once we got all that off we were left with three sets of connections (see second pic).
I know the left set goes to the current cooktop and assume the right set goes to the power source.
But I don?t know what the set on the back wall of the cabinet goes to or whether it should be attached to the new cooktop wiring.

Wiring a Ceiling Light
Electrical Question: In my kitchen in my home i am replacing 12 cfl lights to led can lights all on one switch. I replaced all 12 and only 3 work?
Add to the Wiring Ceiling Light
Pedro asks:
in my kitchen in my home I am replacing 12 cfl lights to LED can lights all on one switch.
I replaced all 12 and only 3 work?
I noticed the other ones came on but then slowly they all went out.
What I did on inside of lights.
I cut all connections to ballast and connected one of each of the red and blue ballast wires to one black and one neutral.
Then I cut and stripped the connections on the LED screw in adapter and wired it directly to black and white.
What could be my issue?
I noticed the ballast wires are way smaller size then the main power (black and white wires) could that have something to do with it?
Any help would help thanks.
Additional Comments: Very easy to navigate.

Wiring a Ceiling Fan Light
Electrical Question: 2 ceiling fans with 3 bulbs in each. Both work fine with incandescent bulbs.
Problem Ceiling Fan Light
Janis asks:
2 Ceiling fans with 3 bulbs in each.
Both work fine with incandescent bulbs.
LED bulbs are a problem.
The bulbs glow when I turn off the power at the wall plate.
Have to pull chain on the ceiling fan if I want them to stop glowing.
Not a bulb issue.
I?ve tried many different bulbs they all behave same way.
Just bought ceiling fan bulbs thinking I must be using wrong bulbs, but that didn?t fix the problem.
Is the problem with the fan wiring or at the wall plate?
Do I need electrical work done?
Have you heard of this?
It?s very annoying!
Thank you.
Additional Comments: Thanks for any advice you can give. Don?t want to sound like an idiot when / if I call an electrician. Thought I better ask some questions so I know what I am talking about. Same fan, same behaviour in my office. Thx

Change the Wiring HVAC Thermostat
Bob asks:
I a replacing my old Aprilaire furnace humidifier with a new Aprilaire 500.
My only issue is powering it: The old one had a plug at the end that went to a receptacle box on the furnace.
The old one had a fan that went on when the furnace clicked on.
The new one has just yellow wires coming off the solenoid but came with a 24v transfomer.
Can I just connect 1 yellow to a white in the receptacle and the other yellow to the black and be done (without burning my house down!
)?
I dont expect free advice by the way but I dont use Venmo or PP I could Zelle you a fee.
Thanks,
Bob
Additional Comments: Awesome if you’re still doing this!
