Thanks for the video! I’m an electrician getting ready to do this for a client so I just wanted a quick recon before going to the job since I haven’t done one before. I appreciate your help. Side note - I can’t believe someone put a sub panel in a kitchen cabinet!

Best video I've seen so far. I have a used cooktop to install and a kitchen sink tap, then the real good job, clean out the grease trap! I should make her do it for all the grease she dumped down the drain. No, I guess it has to be me, or I will be going the "fast food" way for weeks if I want anything to eat. All that smelly slop (I've had to do it before, about 7 years ago.), where will I get rid of it this time? Yeech!

You might want to check the 90 degree connector going to the cooktop. The armored cable was separated from the connector. Sharp edges and wiring don't mix.

Great to see all the details related to the installment of the cooktop.

It looks loose even after you say you finished the job.

Why are installers not using any type of sealant between the cooktop edge and counter? Had one installed a few months back on our new home and now we’re finding crumbs in the drawer under the cooktop.

@WaltWW 7 месяцев назад

Where can I buy installation tape? I purchased a display cooktop from Lowe’s and it didn’t have the foam tape, no one there had even heard of it and kept trying to send me to “insulation” and I had to spell it out for them. Even worse time trying to search it online because I only got results for “insulation” tape. It’s like it doesn’t exist outside of the box from the factory.😅

@theoriginalchefboyoboy6025 3 года назад

are the openings fairly standardized? is there one size more common than others? I saw you had the conduit connection clamp ring installed at the end but you should have included installing it because lots of people take these videos as Bible. jus' sayin'... and on the bottom side of the cooktop, where the electric goes in to the cooktop, the conduit looks loose from that connection. Am I correct in observing that? If so. how does that get clamped?

@TheAppliancePlug 3 года назад

The most common cooktop sizes are 30" and 36". However, the cut-outs do vary depending on multiple things including the age of your existing unit and style. For example, older coil cooktops had round edges so your cut-out may be rounded and if you're replacing it with a glass top you may need the edges to be straight. Thanks for your feedback!

for the mounting bracket they said near the end of the video that they wouldn't be able to show that processs because it was at a really weird angle for the video camera.

@muralis5140 2 года назад

Thanks for the video. Can I connect the cooktop and Oven in the same circuit? I have a 50amp circuit for the free standing range. Looking to replace the range with cooktop and an oven (all electrical).

@TheAppliancePlug 2 года назад

As much as I'd love to tell you yes, that is an electrical question and really depends on what each of the appliances you're connecting calls for. They might each call for 30 or 40 amps so that would probably create a problem for you. I would hate to guide you in the wrong direction. Good luck!

@bertaboy Месяц назад

While a branch circuit is typically dedicated to a single unit/appliance, NEC does have an exception where it considers separate cooktop and wall ovens as a single branch. You will need to add their KW ratings to determine the circuit size. That being said, many cooktops call for either 6/2 or 8/2 (220v and no neutral wire) wiring, whereas many ovens call for 12/3 (220v with neutral wire), so most electricians and inspectors will strongly push you to have two independent circuits. This will also let you continue to use one appliance if the other has to be turned off for whatever reason (eg waiting on repairs)

@jiyuanwang5244 3 года назад

Hi, Is this copper to aluminum? Will regular wire nut work fine? Or it has to be special wire connector?

@turtleturtle4909 3 года назад

Look for purple 🟣 nuts. The package will specification details like wire sizes and AL to CU connections. I searched Lowes for "al to cu wire nuts".

@Hamfaxer 3 года назад

You made an interesting video with fine tips and tricks , but in Europe we have more wires, namely 4. Besides this, sometimes the wires of the cooktop have not the same colours as these of the elektric network of the house. What can we do in that case ? Isn't there any list which differences are allowed ? such as : Brown to red, blue to black, ... ? Or don't you need to use them all ?

@sammax4245 10 месяцев назад

3:26 what is the tape more specifically? I forgot to get some when buying new cooktop, but having a hard time finding what I need to buy

@TheAppliancePlug Год назад

If the model cooktop you purchased requires it, it will be included with it. Some models actually come with it already attached. It’s an insulation tape adding a layer of cushion between the glass top and the countertop.

@brianbeuning9279 Год назад

Wall has copper wires and cooktop has aluminum wires. Need special connector when mixing metals.

@brandontorrez3015 3 года назад

Does it sit on a cabinet? Or the only thing holding it are the sides of the counter?

@TheAppliancePlug 2 года назад

No it doesn't sit on the cabinet. It rests around the lip on the bottom side of the cooktop. When you reference the cutout measurements for the cooktop you're installing, you will want to make sure you consider both the minimum and maximum cutout measurements.

@blessedmomofboys364 9 месяцев назад

So I have a cooktop that was installed probably over 15 years ago. Works fine but is there no way to seal between the counter and the top? Crumbs get under and I feel like I can’t ever get it all out.

@TheAppliancePlug Год назад

This particular cooktop doesn’t have a white wire. However, my junction box included the option for models with a white wire (most newer models do have the white wire.) If the cooktop you have has a white wire, you want to wire it to the white wire in your junction box. If you don’t have a white wire in your junction box, you can add it to the ground wire. The most important thing is to make sure the black goes with black and the red goes with red as those are your hot wires. Thanks for watching!

@mrs.conscious Год назад

red to black is 240v. red to white is 120v. black to white is 120v. My cooktop has downdraft fan and needs 120v. Yours may not need 120 and then you don't need white wire. green is ground and is essential for safety. White is called common. Some places allow connecting white & green but many do not because it creates a "ground loop". Not an electrician.

Electric cooktops don’t come with a power cord that plugs in. They require hardwire in a junction box. However, gas cooktops are equipped with standard 120v power cords that plug in to control the igniters and controls. The heat on gas cooktops is produced by the gas connection. I hope this makes sense. I appreciate your feedback!
