Normally older ovens required a AWG #8 wire on a 40 amp breaker. On a modern double oven I would recommend you install AWG #6 on a 50 amp breaker. That way you are safe and will not have to worry about the breaker tripping. It will cost a little more but is worth it in the long run.

When the green wire to a 220 stove cord is not in use does it have to be capped or can it be left exposed?

The ground wire must all ways be used. This is your first line of defence if a short circuit occurs. It is the current return path that trips the breaker and disconnects the load from the main service panel. The green wire on a stove cord, at the stove end, must be connected to the frame structure of the stove. Look for a ground lug or ground screw to connect to. If you can not see one, pick up one at a local DIY store and install it. Safety first.


Is it dangerous to use a cracked Ceran stove top?

The stove top should not be used in that condition. Depending on the size of the crack, it can be repaired. There are kits in the market place that are used for repairing small cracks for Ceran stove tops. If the stove is continually used in this condition the crack will only get larger. If the crack is too large then the top will need to be replaced. A replacement top can be purchased and installed for the unit.

How do you change a 4 prong 220 outlet to a 3 prong 220 outlet for a stove?

This is a common topic here. Firstly, if you are installing new work go with a 4 prong oven outlet. 3 prong outlets are old and do not meet code for new work. To install, you need to run 6/3 romex wire from your main panel to your new outlet. Install the new outlet in a box behind your oven. Wire up the 6/3 in the panel to a 50A 240V breaker. Remember the color code: Black/red/brass screw is hot, White/silver screw is neutral, bare wire/green screw is ground. I also recommend buying a book on home electricity repairs. It will show you how to do it right and serve as a handy reference during the job. As always, do it right or hire someone to do it for you. Negligence is fatal with electricity.
