Thanks for your help and I appreciate it and I think you're doing a great job with teaching others like myself how to install safely and efficiently...I hadn't heard a better video than this.. 👍
I appreciate that!
Answered all my questions in 5 min, 27 secs. Perfect
Awesome Greg! Glad you enjoyed the content! Are there any specific appliance topics you'd like me to explore next?
Love the short and quick to the point video. I was just a little unclear on the ground unt you showed me how to remove the bridge. Many thanks!!
Glad to help! Thanks for sharing!
So we don't need the bridge? It's for a 3 wire, 10-4
Your video just helped to make my day!!! My old stove was a 4 prong plug wire which all wires matched. My new stove only has 3 wires , missing the green one, I was so confused! Who would of ever thought the green screw under the 3 main wires was for the green wire to be grounded. :)
Very detailed video, greatly appreciated! You even saved me money as I thought I would need a new cord or possibly even a new outlet. Thank you so much!
Glad to help and make your day! Always feels good to successfully do what you never imagined doing.
I’m so glad I checked the oven cord that the delivery guy put in for me. He did it wrong. Also thank you for the easy explanation of installation of the 4 prong cord.
I have no intention of doing this. I just needed to see if there was a difference between a 3 wire cord and a 4 wire cord because my stove died today and the outlet has 4 holes and the current cord has 4 prongs and I wasn't sure a 3 pronged cord would work. So thank you! I'm confident I needed the 4 wire cord so I just paid for it.
Thanks so much. I really needed to get this done so my wife could have a second oven before the weekend so we could entertain guests, but it was getting late at night and I was in no mood to figure this out by myself.
Glad I could help!
So helpful! Love your videos

Thanks bro
Glad to help. Thank you.
Fixed it for $7.99 with a plug from Lowes and saved over $200.00 that an electrician would cost Simple and easy to follow instructions.
Thanks for sharing. Glad to help!
Thanks
Glad to help!
Thank you sir. I just wasn’t sure if i needed to remove the bridge because my Samsung manual said to remove the ground screw and then cut the bridge.
I prefer to bend the bridge out of the way in case it's needed in the future.
@@TheAppliancePlug But doesn't bridge get hot ? Can't arc against the body ?
on my stove the white and green cables are both on the same middle terminal with an additional green ground wire joined to the stove (so there are 3 wires joined to the middle terminal)... do i keep it like that or do i follow your wiring directions?
Soy tampeño. gracias hermano
Perfert!! Thanks
Awesome!
Very well done video. This was actually my exact stove.
Glad it helped!
Is it okay to not bend the bridge out of the way if you have a 4-prong cord? So where green wire is attached, it's oven-bridge-end of green wire-green screw holding it all together, in that order.
How do you know which one I need
I just moved into my new house and the white and green wire are on the same bolt/screw... is that normal or okay? Should I correct this issue
Ground screw is not tightening. Is there an easy fix?
anyone know the tool used in the video to remove the nut?
Will this work on any appliance ? I just bought a second hand Maytag stove and it was a three-pong plug so I'm trying to change the old stoves plug onto the new stove
Yes, you should be able to change the range cord to the one you need. The configuration might be different. However, near the terminal block should be a diagram that shows you how to wire. Good luck!
May I please ask if the “bridge” plate from white to green ground, is a necessary piece, or does my green wire just need to be anchored anywhere without something connecting white to it??
The "bridge" plate you're referring to is likely a grounding or bonding jumper. In a typical household electrical setup, the green or bare wire is the ground wire, and the white wire is the neutral wire. The purpose of the ground wire is to provide a safe path for electrical currents to dissipate in case of a fault or short circuit.
To connect a dishwasher, it's crucial to ensure that it is properly grounded for safety reasons. This usually involves connecting the green ground wire from the dishwasher to the ground terminal in your electrical box or to a grounding conductor (such as a grounding screw or bus bar). This is done to prevent electrical shocks and reduce the risk of fire in case of a fault.
If you have a white wire in the same cable, it should be connected to the neutral conductor. However, the white and green wires should not be directly connected to each other. They serve different purposes in the electrical system.
I have a Whirlpool that has a 4 prong plug on it I need to change it to a 3 pong plug but the bridge is missing do I need to replace the bridge for a 3 pong plug
Technically yes in order for the unit to be properly grounded. If you send me a picture of your terminal block where the cord gets connected, I can see if I have one and mail it to you. You can text picture to 813-252-0731. Or using the model number of the unit you can order one and have it shipped directly to you. You can order it from my appliance parts hotline which is 1-800-816-1241.
Can we remove the bridge completely (4 prong cord) by removing the top white neutral wire and then reinstalling? Or does it need the metal between the wire and terminal block? I removed it fully but now I am concerned about plugging it in
You can remove it completely. He said he left it there and just bent it out of the way in case the stove was moved and had to be reinstalled with a 3 prong cord instead; that's when you would use the bridge, in place of the green ground wire.
if I don't have a 4 or 3 prong receptacle on my wall am I screwed without wiring a new receptacle?
You need the proper outlet in the wall unfortunately for the wire to work
What happens if I leave the metal bridge connected from the nuetral to the ground( it seems to be welded on and I just connect the new green wire over it when changing from 3 pronge to 4 pronge I bought a 1960 used GE electric stove and I'm changing it to a 4 pronge
I see you commented a few weeks ago. I can't say for certain what could happen, especially on an older stove. How did this work out for you?
@@TheAppliancePlug I left it in place and I connected the green wire over it, is working fine.
why do you have to unbridge it
I knew something was wrong after I inspected what Lowe's installers did to my new range. They connected both the ground and the neutral to the neutral post and left the ground strap connected to the frame. I used this video to verify the instruction to remove the ground strap. I folded mine up and bolted it down to the neutral post in case it might be needed in the future, just like the video suggested. The diagram said to cut it though. They also didn't add the strain relief! And I think they lost one of the 3 screws that hold the cover on. Grr...
Wow sounds like a headache! Well, thankfully you were able to find my channel! Appreciate your feedback! I'm planning future content and would love to hear your suggestions. Are there any particular appliance videos you'd be interested in seeing?
@@TheAppliancePlug one thing I really need to learn is how to take apart the ice dispenser in the refrigerator to clean it! It looks pretty scary where the flap opens!
Exact same thing just happened to me. Blowes is a disaster at everything they touch
List tools needed
Tools needed will vary based on which stove model you have. If you provide me with the model number, I can be precise with the tools needed. However, if you have a multi-tool screw driver that includes different attachments that should cover it. You will typically need a Philips screw driver and either a socket set or nut drivers. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching! Check out my linktree link in the description for a multi-tool screw driver.
The bridge is in the way,might contact the live wires,should have cut it off.
I thought it's important to torque nuts to proper amounts?
What you mean by proper amounts?
Very good video. I wish I could take nuts off and have them fall within a few inches. Mine are controlled by aliens and fly off to live under other objects never to be seen again. But you did an excellent job. Thank you!
Great tutorial - he's yummy too!!! Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
Right, isn’t he!!!
Can I get some advice from you about replacing electric cooktop? My outlet has black, white, and red wires, but my new cooktop has black, white and green wires. How should I match the color wires in that case? My wall outlet doesn't have ground wire at all. Thanks
I would not survive in an age before CZcams or internet
Agreed.
He sure didn’t show how to get them clips in to hold the cord(CAUSE ITS A PAIN IN THE ASS) 2:34
