Default Replacing 1 15 amp Receptacle With 1 20 Receptacle


Does your expresso machine have a 20-amp plug on it or a 15-amp plug?
If it has a 20-amp plug on it and you have 14-gauge wiring, I wouldn't
plug it in to your electrical system no matter what sort of socket you
have.

What is the electrical rating of the expresso machine? You can usually
find the electrical rating on the bottom or the back of the machine.



It will be a 20 amp plug.

It is supposed to draw up tp 18 amps
