Same Question as Paul......

In reply to Range wiring by Tom on February 21st, 2004 11:11 AM [Go to top of thread]

"can I re-use the old wiring.....3-conductors?"

It depends........Change the wiring if the NEW Range calls for ONLY a 4-wire hook-up (separate Neutral/Ground)....OR if you need to extend the wire to a new location.....

But Tom added a new twist....Aluminum wire...

.......I would NEVER reuse an old existing aluminum wire inside a house........MY OPINION: I suggest you replace the Al wire with a modern 4-wire supply...........
