It may be a silly question, I am looking for advice on but hopefully not.
My old range broke, dead as a doornail. I got a new range.
The issue is as such, the old range, and the corresponding outlet was 30amp, 3 prong, the new range is 40-50 amp max, 4 prong.
My breaker for the range is 50 amp, the line in the wall, so far as I can tell, is ok for the 50 amp.
If I change out the 3 prong 30 amp outlet to a 50 amp 4 prong will this work? Or am I asking for trouble?
I am obviously not licensed, but I am tech and electrical savvy enough to switch a wall outlet out without killing myself.
