The Key to Replacing a Kitchen Stove Switch
Background: Andre, a Homeowner from Canada
[ad#block]Question: I am replacing a switch inside a Frigidaire Elite kitchen stove. I need to know where to plug the (wires (two black, on red and two white)on the element’s switch (some wires go into the other element’s switch). Unfortunately, the stove’s electrical diagram I can’t read… Thank you in advance.

Dave’s Reply:
Thanks for your electrical question Andre.
Andre, I would need to know exactly what switch is being replaced and the exact model number of the kitchen stove.  The key to replacing  a kitchen stove switch is to get the exact replacement switch then write down the exact connections of all the wires before removing any wires from the existing switch. If it is possible, remove the existing switch with the wires attached, then one by one transfer the wire assignments to the new switch. Be sure the stove circuit is off before replacing the switch.

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.
