Oven electrical wiring
Electrical Troubleshooting Question:
I'm installing an oven. Behind the electrical wall plate i have a ground wire, black and white but on my oven i have a red, black, green, and a white . My question is, which one goes with what? I know that the green goes to ground, and the black goes to black, but where does the white and red ones go?
Thanks- Robert.
Hi Robert - Great Electrical Repair Question!
Most new ovens will allow you to bond their ground and neutral (white) wires together when installing into an existing older home.
New homes now require all four wires, or a dedicated neutral.

The Safest Way to Test Electrical Devices and Identify Electric Wires!The Non-Contact Electrical TesterThis 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.
