In the video we show you how to control the top-half of your outlet with a switch, and how to have constant power on the bottom-half of the same outlet. For us, we need this single outlet to power a dishwasher, and a garbage disposal.
The dishwasher need access to constant power supply, but the garbage disposal doesn't. So in this video we show you how to accomplish this task.
Older houses tend to have less electrical outlets, so sometimes during remodels you need to make do with what you have. Of course, you may want to check your local building codes for guidance.
WHAT WE USED:
12 Awg Push-connect : amzn.to/3AhGDtC
15 Amp Receptacle : amzn.to/3QSzuqz
Wire Strippers : amzn.to/3wsnL9T

On the hot side you hooked the wires around the screws incorrectly. The wires should be hooked in a clockwise direction so they pull in when you tighten the screws. The unused screw on your neutral side should be tightened. If you're going to use a white wire as a hot it must marked on both ends with black electrical tape or hs tubing to indicate hot for future reference. You could use a 14/3 and connect the red wire to the switched receptacle. The neutral wire should be connected to the neutral wire from the other cable (assuming this is one circuit) and pigtailed to the screw. The other end would remain unconnected and capped by a wire nut, a Wago, or a push in like you're using. The code is that a neutral wire must exist in the switch box for future upgrades to wifi switch or dimmer. That's probably irrelevant for this application. Thanks for the video.

That's correct. In most situations with few exceptions, since 2011 a neutral shall be provided in the switch box. NEC 404.2 (c) Also, the white conductor connected to the switch, should be re-identified to indicate its use of an ungrounded conductor by marking tape , painting or other effective means and shall encircle the insulation and can be any color other than white, gray or green. Also, the re-identified conductor shall only be used for the supply to the switch, and never as the return NEC 200.7 (c) (1) Many older homes built before the 1980s, you will commonly see one 14/2 in the switch box, connected to the switch, and the white is almost never properly re-identified. Same with a straight 240V 15 or 20 amp receptacle, commonly used for large window air conditioners

When using the common as a Black its good practice to wrap black electrical tape around it to signify to who ever comes behind you that its being used as a hot and not a common.
@daCubanaqt
@daCubanaqt 11 месяцев назад
Yup. Smh because the next person will have to figure out what he did. Fortunately, the plug is powering a dishwasher and garbage disposal so not as hard to figure out. What I don’t understand is, that drywall looks like it is new. Why didn’t he just use a red wire or at least tag the white wire with black tape? I’m no electrician, but I’m an engineer in a different and have been learning a lot about electrical and even I knew this tutorial was weird.

I have a camper that has a mini fridge that is hardwired in. The fridge is broken ( not fixable), and all the fridges i see have regular 3prong cords. Would you suggest i run the existing wires into a new outlet ( which I would install) ,or cutting the cord end , and splicing the wires together?

Both hots were wrapped the wrong way and have too much insulation on them, which is now pinched under the terminal screws instead of giving the screws a clean grip on nothing but conductor. If this is the level of skill you use when wiring your house then you need to make sure your insurance payments are always up to date, and you keep fresh batteries in your smoke detectors.

Both of mine are connected to the outlet in the bathroom weirdly enough, the bathroom is on the other side of my appliances. Lately we have had an issue with the outlet fuse popping and the appliances won’t work. When I restart the outlet they work for a minute then it pops again. Any suggestions?
@hyperhomes4154
@hyperhomes4154 Год назад
Well it seems like your outlet (which propably is a gfci-outlet) is the main conduit for your other appliances. So you just need to remove your outlet, and reconnect the wires in your box together. From this point you would want to make a pigtail of your white, black and ground wire ( if you have one) which will feed power back to your original outlet. This configuration will allow power to flow to your other appliances regardless of the functionality of your temperamental outlet.
