When replacing the wiring for a stove what size wire should be used? I am
replacing 3 wires with 4 wire.

Are you changing the stove/range as well? If so, size it based on what
it needs.

The wire sizing isn't based on the number of conductors so use the same
as is there if the requirements haven't changed.

In general rule of thumb, the range will be on a 50A breaker and 8 ga
copper wire.

So the real answer is "we don't know" w/o additional information on the
range and breaker/fuse on the circuit.
