Low-voltage
In my case, 9V or 18V is mostly what I mess with, and that's what I considered "low voltage". I am aware of the dangers of 110 v ac, and in fact it makes me a little nervous. Maybe that's bad. Install a new outlet That's the ultimate solution, sure. I've never done it before and it's probably not something I should do w/o experienced help or guidance. I'm sure it's possible to do this w/o tearing the wall all to **** but I've seen a lot of examples where exactly that is what happened. install a new cord I was wondering about that. I haven't measured the length of the cord on the stove itself, but I've seen appliance cords for various things at Home Depot. $5 says that if i have to open the back of the stove the warranty will go bye bye. Thanks for the reply.. |

Look at "wiremold" for surface-mount outlet & wireway, for one. No
need to open the wall. Big boxes carry all sorts of replacement appliance cords. Cheaper way to go than the above, of course. Almost certainly, you get one a couple feet longer than you have, open a small cover at the rear, unscrew cable connections, then assembly is reverse of disassembly. At worst, you deal with wire nuts, which would only be a problem if your new cable had much larger conductors than the old. I'm assuming you know how to properly connect something like a low-power cord- good mechanical connection (screws, solder, or taped wire-nuts), insulated, strain-relieved. Look for stuff like tattle-tale tape that'd show a cover had been removed. Do the job properly and fuhgeddaboudit, or ask a Borg person to show you on a floor-model what's involved. (Or make the change.) This is really no biggie. Other questions, you really should group by topic. And prepare, soon, to contribute with responses. :') J |

I'm assuming you know how to....
Yes, and I was assuming it'd be just a small cover and 3 screws or nuts. Thenagain, sometimes you never know. Other questions, you really should group by topic. And prepare, soon, to contribute with responses. :') Of course, but not until i know what i'm talking about ![]() Thanks again. I think the new cord is the route i'll take here. |
