Wiring 5 wires cooktop to 4 wires electrical box
I just bought a used Frigidaire cooktop model FPS64W-1. I cant find any manual and I have no idea how to make the wiring. Everything I find on the net shows 3 or 4 wires and always a white wire (mine does not have any white wires!).
5 wires are coming out of the cooktop : 1-black 1-red 1-green 1-yellow 1-brown My household electrical box has 4 wires... how am I supposed to figure out which wire goes to which wire Any help would be very appreciated.. I need to cook a turkey tonight :) |
Those colours are European wiring. Are you in North America?
Is there a drawing on the back of the stove? Take a picture of it and post it. |
That does not appear to be a valid model number.
Can you verify. |
i have the same issue. i am trying to put a new plug on the cooktop - it has 5 wires black/brown/red/yellow/green but the plug calls for 4 wires - black/green/white/red can i do this?

I think you have a unit that someone wants to forget they made it.
I did find that the serial numbers fit into the fridgedaire code system. I checked it for recalls and it came up with none but when I checked the numberfor the OP model sudenly the search was no longer available.?? I did find this site that lists a bunch of fridgedaires with problems that you don't need and your serial number fits in that group. Theres a chart about half way down the page. http://www.laundrypumprecall.ca/node42.aspx |
I was able to locate a forum where this 5-wire issue was addressed with a wiring diagram. The link is to the forum .... the wiring diagram is referenced in one of the responses.
