I am remodeling my Mom's house, and my brother removed the built in oven & cook top months ago. I want to put in a 4 prong stove plug and switch ot a free standing oven/range.
The 4" outlet box has incoming white, red, 2 black, and conduit (as is throughout the home). I expected white red black green and conduit. I poped the breaker box cover off, the 2 pole breaker has 2 black wires that go into the conduit and a red, from the bus at top of the panel. I see no white going in and no green. Makes no sense to me.
Are the 2 blacks hot for the oven/range, red hot for clock etc., white common, and I need to use some bare to ground the plug off the conduit connector?
What is the correct way to wire these to the 4-prong outlet - pigtail together 1 black + red to 1 prong, black to next prong, white to final, and bare pigtail from conduit to final prong? I assume I need to test the lines, confirm they haven't substituted inappropriately?
Thanks - S
