What’d your inspection come up with? Was the wiring on his stainless unit actually sufficient for the power draw, or had they simply not used it like “grandma on Thanksgiving?”

Their range was wired exactly the same as mine.  They DO so happen to be grandparents and…I’ve enjoyed many Thanksgiving meals there with many in attendance.

 

How’d the wiring LOOK?  Well – clean as a whistle.

 

I guess a poorly-put connection from the factory caused my issue.  After many years later, I snooped it out.  FWIW, my stove was still working fine before I found that.  I was just back there to troubleshoot the oven.  Its failure wasn’t related to the wire issue I’d expounded on.

 

Nevertheless, I still don’t get how they can design it like they did and find that acceptable.
