Are you not getting power to the plug? -
1st Read the nameplate to confirm amperage/wattage30amp or 40/50amp
Make sure you run correct wire size for amperage/wattage i.e 30amp =#10awg or #8 for =40/50amp
You will need 4 conductors typical colors(red/black/white/Green or bare)
10/3 w/ground or 8/3 w/ground
Ensure wall plug is rated for same amperage as oven and breaker is off if terminated(made up)
Make connections as follows
Red to brass connection on receptacle(plug)
Black to brass connection on receptacle(plug)
White to silver(chrome) connection on receptacle(plug)
Green (bare) to green connection on receptacle
Breaker box
Match amp rating to oven 2-pole breaker required
Connect red wire to breaker
Connect black wire to breaker
Connect white wire to neutral bar (where other whites are connected)
Connect green wire to ground bar(where other greens/or bare wires are connected)
Hope this helpsComment
