I'm afraid I becam over zealous in my cleaning of the stove my
landlord brought me. While having the top proped up to clean the pan
underneath I managed to tear off one of 2 Green wires that ground to
the fram of the stove.
I have looked at the back of another stove that had simular colored
wire coding. It too had 2 green wires grounding to the frame. One
grounded the clock. And the other the grounded the "Accesory Outled".
I'm fairly sure this is where it should have gone, though I can see
where it was removed.
The length of the wire would only reach the plug or possibly the oven
switch or one of the other budled wire groups.
I realize this should call for an electrical apliance repair
proffesional. But I'm located a little too remotely for that to be
feasible.
Anyone familiar with stove wiring care to second guess this ?

Thanks for any advice

I could not see a couple of the photos. Did the wire just pull out, rather
than break? If so, using the reach of the wire you can eliminate many of
the potential places. Is the other stove you looked at very similar?
Sounds like you can see where it should be from your description. How is it
attached?

Take your time and look carefully for a spade connector that has no wire on
it. If you see it, that makes it very simple as all you have to do is
somehow reconnect it. If the wire comes up short, you can slice in a piece
using a proper wire nut or crimp connector. You can buy a connector and
crimping tool for much less than the price of a service call.

Hi,

Nice pics Only 1/2 worked for me

It too had 2 green wires grounding to the frame. One
grounded the clock. And the other the grounded the "Accesory Outled".
I'm fairly sure this is where it should have gone, though I can see
where it was removed.

Definelty appears to be broken off of the outlet plug. Might be able to
take apart the outlet and resolder the ground wire back on or simply
replace the plug outlet with a new one.

Some of the pictures were not available. I am an electronic technician
and have only my experience there to draw on. Often times we attach a
ground wire to the frame of the device also. I noticed in one picture
the wire you held was hooked at the conductor end like it had been
wrapped around a screw. It looked very close to the bolt and screw
coming up through the sheet metal. Does it look like it can go there?
