Replacing kitchen range difficult in older home
Fix likely a matter of updating electrical wiring
By Paul Bianchina, Friday, November 21, 2008.Q: We are replacing our old electric drop-in stove with a new dual-fuel slide-in, which features a gas cooktop and an electric oven. We have had the gas installed with no problem, but now have a problem with the electrical wiring.

The electrical box purchased for the range has four ports for connection.
