Hello all,
Removed old range hood, and preparing to install a new range hood only, no microwave. However, the existing range hood & refrigerator are currently sharing a breaker and there's no ground on existing wiring in kitchen, from panel. The new range hood will be hard wired and instructions say "requires a 120V 60Hz electrical supply, and connected to an individual, properly grounded branch circuit, protected by a 15 or 20 ampere circuit breaker or time delay fuse. Wiring must be 2 wire w/ ground.". How would you connect new range hood to existing wiring?
Existing range hood & refrigerator are currently sharing this 20A breaker:
