To attack this I'd want to start by looking at a wiring schematic of the dishwasher, and do a point to point check of your line (power) until it stops. Many things can fail in an appliance like your board or capacitors, but I'd do that simple check first. And if there is supposed to be a fuse...

Nice job, looks great!

Directly below a duct is fine.

Your plan sounds good. If you can do pull ups on that cross section it will definitely hold a surface mount fixture, assuming the fixture weighs less than you do lol. Don't need access to that tile, just the tiles around it.

Christmas trees and bumblebees, that's an old saying I heard early on that's helped me remember the color coding (Rd/Grn and Blk/Yel).

Yes I forgot about the ones grandfathered in.

Must be the locality I'm in, bc inspectors won't pass any range or dryer that's hard wired.

It's illegal to hard wire an electric oven or dryer nowadays, they need a means of disconnect for servicing, most practical is a cord and plug.

It should be grounded absolutely. What I find strange is that you can still buy ranges that give you the wiring diagram for a 3 wire and 4 wire setup. I don't know where it's legal anymore to wire it without ground.

The wire in the box is old, sure, but it looks fine. What is the problem?

To do this you'd need to cut your opening a bit higher to get your short pipe with fitting in, and then patch

That's a tough one. I have a flush mount main too and want to run conduit in the future. I suppose you could come out of the top of the panel with a straight pipe, use a pulling 90 fitting, and mount a surface mount junction box above the panel. From there you could start your conduit run and...

If using conduit you must use individual conductors (THHN or THWN). I think it's illegal to pull Romex through conduit, and if you could it won't pull easy at all. Stranded (not solid) individual conductors are much easier to pull. At the junction box you can switch to Romex assuming the...

Agreed, I would see what's behind that fixture before shopping for a new light. If there is a box it should be in the center of the old light.

I try to never use 14 g on receptacles, unless I'm tapping off an existing 15A circuit, lighting is ok though in my opinion, since lighting loads are decreasing all the time with LEDs.
