Hello we had a 30 amp (4 burner) electric stove that broke. It was serviced by a 10 AWG line.
We replaced it with a 5 burner stove which requires 40 amps, so I pulled a 8 AWG line and changed the breaker in the panel from 30A to 40A.
Now, the wife says the new 5 burner stove is too crowded and she can’t fit her big pots and pans on there at the same time.
She wants a new 4 burner instead. That’s 30 amps. Question: Can I leave the 40A breaker in place, or do I need to put the 30A breaker back in? I’m gonna leave the 8 AWG line in place.
