That was an awesome video, I for one like to watch your videos, some stuff I know about some stuff I don’t. This was a very informative video. I will add that the middle terminal where the neutral white wire is attached had a copper colored ground clip that was connected to the terminal block as well as to the frame with that green screw under the neutral terminal block. This is an important part of that just as a reminder for those who use the three prong cord to make sure that that ground clip is there before installation of that cord. It is a safety thing. Most times it’s in the form of a clip as shown in your video, others have a green grounding wire attached to the frame somewhere and it’s attached to the neutral terminal block. That’s really the only difference between the four prong cord and the three prong is that grounding clip or wire. I’ll tell you the main reason being for that is that if for some reason one of those hot wires ( black and red) were to somehow come loose or gets knocked somehow and touches the frame it will trip the breaker after drawing an insane amount of current in a short amount of time due to grounding out. On a four prong that clip is removed or that grounding wire that came attached to the frame is removed from the neutral terminal block and the fourth grounding wire which will be green an color coded will be attached straight to the frame separated from the neutral terminal block. The reason why most new houses or construction have the four prong receptacles and cords for appliances is also for safety reasons. While the three prong plug can be swapped with another three prong plug and be ok in old work however in new work since the neutral is separated from the ground it becomes another safety barrier. Most don’t know that the neutral carries the return current from the two hot wires when the appliances are using the 120 volts things within the appliances like the lights and clock. Essentially what it’s doing when using a three prong plug is mixing the ground and neutral and hence all the return current is not only going through the white neutral but also the entire metal frame of the appliance and the concern comes in for instance if the white wire from the plug somehow gets loose from the terminal block now there’s no path for the current to flow and if you touch it you become the path back to the source. This is why they separated the neutral and ground in new wiring where just the ground wire is attached to the frame to carry the current in a fault instead of your body. And also since they are separated in a four prong cord the current goes through the 120 volt accessories and travels back through the neutral without being in contact with the metal frame. Now that might be a bit much information for a simple video that you posted which was great by the way. This was moreso for one of the comments where someone asked about a video on the 4 prong cord. That’s just the worded version. I’m sure you’ll add another video on that later. I can’t wait for the next video you do. I get lots of ideas from most of your videos and like I said a lot of stuff you talk about or do videos on I wouldn’t really have thought about like different types of tools and all the key features of the different tools. I would have never thought about a chalk line also doubling up as a plum bob. It never crossed my mind until that video so thanks for that.
I just loved this comment! It is sometimes difficult to include everything in a youtube video. I appreciate your taking the time to post your comment. It explained things perfectly and this gives viewers that extra bit of information. Thank you!
Speaking as a long time lighting designer and stage electrician, I wholeheartedly agree with *everything* you've said!! One more thing; I was happy to see that Leah *specifically* connected the neutral *first.* Every young stage electrician is taught to connect in this order: (no matter what!!) Green(ground), White (neutral), Black, Red, Blue(hot). The disconnect is always done in the exact opposite order: hot, neutral, ground. You never know what someone may be innocently doing behind your back, and this specific order of connection/disconnection has saved people's lives!!
Lolz I was just saying a video with this would be good. 😂😂😂 Still, I think I would like to hear @seejanedrill do it because she's so clear and concise.
Yep, it's because they're the two opposing phases of your home's 240V service (120 volts each, on the two opposite sides of neutral). Because those phases are alternating current, they swap their polarity sixty times a second. So really, you couldn't get 'em wrong if you tried! And that's very different from a 120 volt circuit, which uses only ONE hot, and a neutral line, to complete a circuit. Not two hots. And that means that THOSE can be accidentally reversed, which results in a possibly OK-functioning appliance, but also potentially safe (depending on its construction). In that way, a 240V range is actually a little bit EASIER to wire safely, than some 120V appliances!
I just hooked up my new range because of your video! Thank you! Your instructions are clear and fully explained. Super helpful for a single mom trying to do it all on my own!
Leah you could not have made more simple and certainly less intimidating. I have had a GE flattop stove for two years that was given to me and I never understood why it did not have a cord. I did not get rid of it . I have been cooking with alternate cooking sources and am tired of it. I started searching for the cord found it a home depot and then found your video. Whew!! Thank You. I don't play with ELECTRICTIY !! I will be subsrcibing to your channel. So patient.... so just like a caring mother.
Awesome explanation, super simple, no wasted words. I literally just watched this and installed an electric range . Now the boss doesn’t know I’m incompetent, thanks !!
I’m so grateful for your thorough explanation and time taken in the video. You explained risks, concerns, and step by step process without being extra. As a woman who was raised by an incredible mom who was bold in learning things like this, your video made me emotional today. Thank you for helping others and myself learn.
A near-perfect video, so clearly explained, excellent sound, helpful, clear video shots and confidence-building voice...great job Leah! You are a natural teacher. Thanks for the help.
Awesome. i was able to do my own stove and DID not have to pay $100 just for someone to install it. Awesome video. Step by step instructions, easy to view and understand!!
wow, not only was the video clear and concise, but you also have a voice for radio. I can hear you on NPR or something because you enouciate and you speak in a clear voice. 💙💙✊🏿✊🏿 I'm glad I didn't need it, but if you don't have a video for people who have older houses with a 3 prong plug, but buy a new stove that has a 4 prong terminal. when I was reading I realized I may have done this since the house was built in the 50's but I lucked out!
Thanks! We were waiting with bated breath to learn that the non-color-coded hot wires are . . . wait for it . . . interchangeable! Exactly what we needed to know!
Thank you so much!!!! Was ready to cry when I couldn't figure out how this strainer was going to work and how I was going to tell the black wire from the red one. The instruction manual is worthless. So thankful for You Tube and good people like you!
Thank you again for a great video. It’s been a while since I attached a cord to an appliance and this was the perfect instructional video to get me through it. You also helped me try to install a new toilet.(only “try” because I ended up having to put the old one back on) still felt proud of myself for getting the old one off and back on again. Thank you for all you do for us uneducated folks. You are helping us out a great deal!
Thank you. Most comprehensive. I do not want to have to change the wall outlet. Already have done so on one stove and now realized a waste. Thank you. Always enjoy your videos.
wanted to make sure i hook my new electric range up correctly, found your video and thought "this is a pretty simple but excellent how to video" Thank you!
You are awesome!!! Someone gave me an old stove with a 4-prong plug and I have a 3-prong socket. Now I know exactly how to fix my problem. Thank you 🙏🏻
Thanks a lot. I work with a furniture company and never had to do one until today. We struggled with it but we got it. You just showed me the easiest way.
OMG, thank you sooooo much for clarifying that the left and right wires are interchangeable! No where in the Samsung Oven Range directions does it state this. My useless Samsung manual does however state that the black must go on the left and the red must go on the right and you guessed it, there are NO colors on the 3 prong power cord itself. You're an angel. Thank you!!!
Thank you very much! There are quite a few of these kind of videos but you are the only one firmly stated that both hot wires are interchangeable as long as the center wire connected to the neutral terminal. Great video! Thank you!
I don't why this video doesn't have 4 million views because it should. Jane Drill answered the major question I had about the three wire plug which is the center to center and the others don't matter since they are hot. I replaced my range and was concerned since there was no color coding on the plug wires which I removed from the old range. As she says at the end "you can do this" and that is the truth
Thank you Leah! I always love the clarity and completeness of your videos. So grateful for your expertise and your willingness to share and empower all of us!
something about how you are always cheers me up : ) Thank you for another great video. I fiddle with electronics I thought the White was ground because of that little green screw, the Black neutral -, and the Red was hot +.
You are a very good teacher! The guys told me how to install the power cord but never having done anything like this before I wanted to see a video as I did it. So glad I picked yours! Thank you ❤️
I have watched several videos of this channel, I really like her way of teaching. I just clicked in and saw her face appear. I didn't have time to watch it but quickly liked the video and immediately commented to express my feelings when I saw her face and voice. ❤🙏
Thank you for posting this!!! It was the first result on Google. I just bought a new Samsung stove and you purchased the same cord I did. I figured the wiring was the same as what you said before I watched the video, but you reassured me! I really didn't want to mess it up. Thank you for your tutorial! You saved me a huge headache.
Another great video. I work on appliances for a living. I have seen people buy a 3 prong cord for a range and it not work in their 3 prong outlet. The problem was that they bought a 3 prong dryer cord instead of a range cord. Now they think that they need to replace the outlet. Could you do a short video and explain the difference? Thanks.
You are the best thank you so much I am a single Widow and I purchased an electric stove with the wrong cord I bought the new cord I saw your video watched it twice and I did it thank you so much you are the best I will be watching you from now on
Hello! I'd just like to thank you so much for this video. My oven broke 2 days before thanksgiving and we unfortunately had to do everything our selves as delivery and install would have been after the holiday. Your video was so helpful and easy to follow. I can now add oven install to my skill set :) thanks again
Thank you SO much for making things so clear. I'm going to be able to install our new stove today, but more importantly, i will get to do it with my son and teach him what I learned from you. So i will get 1 more day of appearing like I know what im doing, but also he will know what to do if or when the day comes that he needs to replace a stove and im no longer around. Thank you.
Thanks a lot for making this video and explain the process so well, specially the interchangeable cable thing, I was afraid of doing it wrong . My stove is all set now!
You answered my question since the wires weren’t color coated I was going to buy a $40 cord that was color coated now I can buy a $25 one like you have. Bravo and thanks for explaining the way to hook up the stove wiring properly.
Great video. Most confusing is the unmarked cord. Great explanation that it doesnt matter which way the cord is turned as long as the neutral is center. That is why I looked up this video. Thank Youuuuu.!!!
Thanks Leah, I never knew that these appliances did not come with the cable already attached. But now that I think of it, I remember replacing the garbage disposal under the kitchen sink, and that did not come with a cable attached either. I suppose this gives the manufacturers an opportunity to sell us something extra. Anyway, thanks for another informative video.
Holy moly this video was so helpful. First time homebuyer, got the stove & fridge delivered only to realize it didn’t come with a plug, who knew ): then when I bought the cord which came with a strain relief, the little “wings” were too big to fit in the cut out circle in my stove! I almost cried. So if anyone else is in this predicament you can buy smaller sized ones in the electrical section of the hardware store. They were called something different, not a strain relief, but I took that piece in with me to compare & found something that looked the same but with smaller “wings” on either side & that one actually did fit in the hole in my stove.
Excellent. I was going about this backwards and was about to try to convert ny recepticle from a 3 prong to a 4 prong without running a ground wire. I think Im just gonna use my old stoves power cord instead and get my $20 back from the hardware store. Youre great.
Thank you thank you thank you!! I was so afraid to even try to do this and that's how I ended here, and you make me feel so much better. All of your videos that I have seen are wonderful and this one did not let me down. You explained it so well.
THANK YOU! That was very easy and NOT SCARY! Awesome job! I watched other videos but your video was by far the simplest. I didnt need an electrician to come out and you saved me money!
I don’t know how many times I’ve been lost and your videos always save my day. Thank you so much for the content you put out❤. I always look like I know what I’m doing after I watch your videos. No one knows how lost I was prior to watching😂. Thank you Ma’am. You saved the day.
Your videos are always clear and precise. You do such a great job explaining in a way anyone can understand and feel confident about taking on any task. Well done!
Thank you for posting this it’s exactly what I needed tonight after buying this exact cord. Just wanted to make sure I wasn’t forgetting anything! Which I almost did until I saw your oven how the neutral spot had that piece of metal bent down and and attached to the ground screw. Since I was chancing from 4 to 3 prong my oven had never had that piece bent down before and I had to do that. Woulda missed it without this probably! Thanks!
Awesome Video! You explained every step along the way, leaving no question to ponder. And, like one other commenter mentioned, you’re the only one I’ve seen explain the hot wire connection, which is exactly why I tuned in. Thank you!👍🏼 You Rock!
I wish you would have been my teacher in high school. With your explanation ways, I would have become a neuron sergeant. Thank you so much for the video. God bless you
Thank u 🙏 for posting this, it helped me have piece of mind that I’m not going to get the wrong wire and blow up my house!!!! God Bless you!!! We can do it ourselves, ❤️ that!!!!
Thank you!! I was panicking as my 2 outside got mixed up while flipping cords on a broken to new range at work and I need confirmation it wouldn't be an issue bc they are both live! Just switched to doing maintenance after 14 yrs as a caregiver! Love it but still learning and always double checking my work!
Thanks for the help! Instructions for the chord said to tighten the relief bracket until the metal brackets touch, but I was concerned this would pinch the wire! But your video helped.
Thank you so much! I'm so excited! I've been wanting a New Black Electric Stove to match my fridge. I had an almond color working fine just wanted an upgrade. I was walking around Lowe's today not looking for a stove. But, saw this Black coil stove sitting all alone. I walked over looked inside. It said " As is'! So, I asked what was wrong with it. The manager said it had a little dent in the back. It was so small I wouldn't have noticed. So, I said how much? He said, "$250.00"!OMG! Ring me up! A brand new stove! I had a Friend pick it up! Now I'm putting the cord on! What a great Day!😊😊
Hey there Leah. Good video. I am going to put a plug on a welder, actually today. Good refresher for me because I just don't do this very often. I miss you putting up video's as often as you used to. I understand sometimes you just get so busy. I just love to watch your video's because I always learn something. I made those sawhorses you showed us how to do and those things are super strong! You have a great day.
I want to thank you so much. This is the easiest tutorial to follow. I was sure that I'd have to hire someone to do this but after your video, I have 100% confidence that I can do this myself! Now I'm hoping you have videos for installing porch lights and electric outlet plugs because thsts all i need to do now. You're the best!
What a fantastic instructional video. So easy to understand. You explain this in such a descriptive manner that anyone could understand. Thank you for this video!
Thank you, you just saved me, I don't know how to do anything related to electricity. Bought a range today and this saved my ass I liked and subscribed just cause of this magnificent video
Thank you so much! You've helped me so much because I was worried about which one goes to red/black. I assumed the middle was neutral but I wanted to be sure.
I always get intimidated when installing a new power cord to the terminal block. This video really made it simple and now I don't think I'm going to blow myself up burn the house down LOL thank you thank you thank you!
MR. Leah, what a great bit of luck me finding your Video specifically on the Cord.......... AND which terminals go to which wires (Plug) The part you explained that the two outside wires on the three wire plug are interchangable side for side, while the center is always center... Thank you sir...
Thanks!!!! I purchased and installed my first electric oven. I wasn't sure on how to connect the cord. It definitely is very easy; but I was very cautious. Thanks to you!!!!!
That was an awesome video, I for one like to watch your videos, some stuff I know about some stuff I don’t. This was a very informative video. I will add that the middle terminal where the neutral white wire is attached had a copper colored ground clip that was connected to the terminal block as well as to the frame with that green screw under the neutral terminal block.

I get lots of ideas from most of your videos and like I said a lot of stuff you talk about or do videos on I wouldn’t really have thought about like different types of tools and all the key features of the different tools. I would have never thought about a chalk line also doubling up as a plum bob. It never crossed my mind until that video so thanks for that.

@@seejanedrill my wife bought a oven with 4 wires but our house has a 3 prong outlet. Can it still be wired with 3 prong?
Lolz I was just saying a video with this would be good. 😂😂😂 Still, I think I would like to hear @seejanedrill do it because she's so clear and concise.
Would the "ground clip" just be a screw up top? Thanks
You are the only person that clarified which hot wires go to red and black. No one else explains they are interchangeable. Thank you.
It’s AC current not DC

Leah, I love you!
You explained it so well, no irritating ukulele music and no wasted time waiting around while you fumble.

She so is right? I think that's what it is she is so nice like a mom or a teacher! She is awesome : )
Nice tutorial. Also the green screw pictured under the 3 is for the green ground wire on a 4 prong power cord install.
I've learnt a lot from Leah's Vids, she's got a good way to teach that make you come back for more vids. Thank you.
She's trying to teach and not show off like most of them.
*I've learned

I can un-single you if u want haha!
I am such a fan of Leah. She shows us the basic common sense of what we need to know.
Thanks! We were waiting with bated breath to learn that the non-color-coded hot wires are . . . wait for it . . . interchangeable! Exactly what we needed to know!
Ikr, it's not everyday that a DIYer hooks up to the 240!
Very well spoken for me to understand , ir should I dare say you dumb it down for people like me. Loved it . Thank you so much . 💓

Why did u put the old one back?
Omg this is the best vid I’ve seen on how to do this, especially explaining the strain relief thingy! Thank you!
Access cover was installed upside down. Lol
Yea ikr lo
Thank you. Most comprehensive. I do not want to have to change the wall outlet. Already have done so on one stove and now realized a waste. Thank you. Always enjoy your videos.

I fiddle with electronics I thought the White was ground because of that little green screw, the Black neutral -, and the Red was hot +.
In North America for some reason we use Red, Black for both live for 2 phase. Which is pretty confusing
@@cryo_life Red, black, blue is used for three phase!
You are a very good teacher! The guys told me how to install the power cord but never having done anything like this before I wanted to see a video as I did it. So glad I picked yours! Thank you ❤️
I have watched several videos of this channel, I really like her way of teaching. I just clicked in and saw her face appear. I didn't have time to watch it but quickly liked the video and immediately commented to express my feelings when I saw her face and voice. ❤🙏
It is just amazing to me how you simplify this. I’m going forward at this very moment 7:14 PM. August 20, 2024 here in Atlanta Georgia wish me luck.
Thank you for posting this!!! It was the first result on Google. I just bought a new Samsung stove and you purchased the same cord I did.

Leah is easily one of the best explanators of diy . Simply awesome video!
Hello! I'd just like to thank you so much for this video. My oven broke 2 days before thanksgiving and we unfortunately had to do everything our selves as delivery and install would have been after the holiday. Your video was so helpful and easy to follow. I can now add oven install to my skill set :) thanks again

So i will get 1 more day of appearing like I know what im doing, but also he will know what to do if or when the day comes that he needs to replace a stove and im no longer around. Thank you.
Thanks a lot for making this video and explain the process so well, specially the interchangeable cable thing, I was afraid of doing it wrong . My stove is all set now!
The simplicity of the explanation. I've remodeled most my house with your guides!! You've earned a subscribe for sure
Glad to have you, thanks for subbing.
You answered my question since the wires weren’t color coated I was going to buy a $40 cord that was color coated now I can buy a $25 one like you have. Bravo and thanks for explaining the way to hook up the stove wiring properly.
Great video. Most confusing is the unmarked cord. Great explanation that it doesnt matter which way the cord is turned as long as the neutral is center. That is why I looked up this video. Thank Youuuuu.!!!
Well, thank you so much for letting me know that they’re in interchangeable. It makes this task so much easier.
I love how you break it down so almost anyone can understand what you are talking about.

Holy moly this video was so helpful. First time homebuyer, got the stove & fridge delivered only to realize it didn’t come with a plug, who knew ): then when I bought the cord which came with a strain relief, the little “wings” were too big to fit in the cut out circle in my stove! I almost cried. So if anyone else is in this predicament you can buy smaller sized ones in the electrical section of the hardware store. They were called something different, not a strain relief, but I took that piece in with me to compare & found something that looked the same but with smaller “wings” on either side & that one actually did fit in the hole in my stove.
Excellent. I was going about this backwards and was about to try to convert ny recepticle from a 3 prong to a 4 prong without running a ground wire. I think Im just gonna use my old stoves power cord instead and get my $20 back from the hardware store. Youre great.
Leah, this was very helpful for me. My instructions didn't say things like what a strain relief meant, or how to install it. Thank you very much!
Wow.. your teaching method is so thorough and clear. This is the best video i have seen
on cord installation.
Thank you thank you thank you!! I was so afraid to even try to do this and that's how I ended here, and you make me feel so much better. All of your videos that I have seen are wonderful and this one did not let me down. You explained it so well.
Ms. Leah, this was perfect! i was nervous about hooking up power cord but your video made me feel like a pro! Thank you!!!!
First time I've seen one of Leah's video. Great presentation. Positive without being condescending. Keep up the great work!
Great information. Very precise instructions. Love the way you're talking like you're waiting for us to finish our task.
Thanks Leah!!! You were a life saver. Having never done this before I could not have asked for a better instructor.
THANK YOU! That was very easy and NOT SCARY! Awesome job! I watched other videos but your video was by far the simplest. I didnt need an electrician to come out and you saved me money!
Leah! You're an angel, a God send, thank you sooooo very much for sharing your knowledge to all of us!
I don’t know how many times I’ve been lost and your videos always save my day. Thank you so much for the content you put out❤. I always look like I know what I’m doing after I watch your videos. No one knows how lost I was prior to watching😂. Thank you Ma’am. You saved the day.
Your videos are always clear and precise. You do such a great job explaining in a way anyone can understand and feel confident about taking on any task. Well done!
Thank you for posting this it’s exactly what I needed tonight after buying this exact cord. Just wanted to make sure I wasn’t forgetting anything!
Which I almost did until I saw your oven how the neutral spot had that piece of metal bent down and and attached to the ground screw. Since I was chancing from 4 to 3 prong my oven had never had that piece bent down before and I had to do that.
Woulda missed it without this probably! Thanks!
Awesome Video! You explained every step along the way, leaving no question to ponder. And, like one other commenter mentioned, you’re the only one I’ve seen explain the hot wire connection, which is exactly why I tuned in. Thank you!👍🏼 You Rock!
I wish you would have been my teacher in high school. With your explanation ways, I would have become a neuron sergeant. Thank you so much for the video. God bless you
I'm so thankful for you. If you are not the best I don't know what the best is. Thank you so much Leah
Thank you so much for this! I was a bit intimidated but you’ve given a wonderfully detailed description of how to do this.
Thanks for the advice. Just moved into a new place and had no idea per say what to do. You're a life saver ❤
I was terrified to install it, but after seeing this video, I feel I can do so much more. Thank you for the helpful tips just installed my first stove
Thank u 🙏 for posting this, it helped me have piece of mind that I’m not going to get the wrong wire and blow up my house!!!! God Bless you!!! We can do it ourselves, ❤️ that!!!!
Thank you!! I was panicking as my 2 outside got mixed up while flipping cords on a broken to new range at work and I need confirmation it wouldn't be an issue bc they are both live! Just switched to doing maintenance after 14 yrs as a caregiver! Love it but still learning and always double checking my work!
Thanks for the help! Instructions for the chord said to tighten the relief bracket until the metal brackets touch, but I was concerned this would pinch the wire! But your video helped.
As always, She's very thorough and explains everything!
Thanks for this vid!
You are the best! I'm kind of a jack of all trades kind of gal but electrical I'm clueless on and had to swap my range power cord. Thank you!
Leah, thank you for helping me install the strain relief thing, and showimg me where to hook up each of the 3 wires, God bless you!
Thank you so much! I'm so excited! I've been wanting a New Black Electric Stove to match my fridge. I had an almond color working fine just wanted an upgrade. I was walking around Lowe's today not looking for a stove. But, saw this Black coil stove sitting all alone. I walked over looked inside. It said " As is'! So, I asked what was wrong with it. The manager said it had a little dent in the back. It was so small I wouldn't have noticed. So, I said how much? He said, "$250.00"!OMG! Ring me up! A brand new stove! I had a Friend pick it up! Now I'm putting the cord on! What a great Day!😊😊
Based black lady makes the best how-to on RUclips. I wish they all were this well done. Thank you so much!!!
Thank you so much Leah for this video & explanation of the wiring. Especially the NEUtral is always Center wire on unmarked range cord.
Hey there Leah. Good video. I am going to put a plug on a welder, actually today. Good refresher for me because I just don't do this very often. I miss you putting up video's as often as you used to. I understand sometimes you just get so busy. I just love to watch your video's because I always learn something. I made those sawhorses you showed us how to do and those things are super strong! You have a great day.
Leah is pretty consistent in a video a week.
@@dwightl5863 OK, I will check my spam folder then. This is the first one I have had in a while. Thanks Dwight.
hmmmmmm
@@1811bruce Make sure you rang that bell and clicked on *all* notifications!!
Thank you!. I don't know anything about electricity, but you made so simple that I going to do it myself instead of paying $ 250
Thank you so so much for this video. I bought my stove yesterday. I am downloading this.
I want to thank you so much. This is the easiest tutorial to follow. I was sure that I'd have to hire someone to do this but after your video, I have 100% confidence that I can do this myself! Now I'm hoping you have videos for installing porch lights and electric outlet plugs because thsts all i need to do now. You're the best!
Thanks for the video. My son and I just installed on our stove. We had a 3 prong cord. Was an easy install because of this video.
I watches 4 videos she's a great instructor very thorough
Always click on your vid first. Very clear and thorough explanation S. Thanks
What a fantastic instructional video. So easy to understand. You explain this in such a descriptive manner that anyone could understand. Thank you for this video!
Thank you for such thorough video , and for turning the strainer relief.
I’ve watched many DIY videos and this is one of the best! Excellent job and thank you!
Thank you, you just saved me, I don't know how to do anything related to electricity. Bought a range today and this saved my ass I liked and subscribed just cause of this magnificent video
OMGosh!! You rock!! Thank you for the clear, precise instructions!!! I hope you have a blessed day!
I've used your instructional videos numerous times. Thanks for being such a great teacher!!
Thank you so much! You've helped me so much because I was worried about which one goes to red/black. I assumed the middle was neutral but I wanted to be sure.
I always get intimidated when installing a new power cord to the terminal block. This video really made it simple and now I don't think I'm going to blow myself up burn the house down LOL thank you thank you thank you!
MR. Leah, what a great bit of luck me finding your Video specifically on the Cord.......... AND which terminals go to which wires (Plug) The part you explained that the two outside wires on the three wire plug are interchangable side for side, while the center is always center... Thank you sir...
Thanks!!!! I purchased and installed my first electric oven. I wasn't sure on how to connect the cord. It definitely is very easy; but I was very cautious. Thanks to you!!!!!
Yet another well explained and illustrated video, thank you Leah
Thank you! Because of you, I can save $45 in install fees!
Thank you so much. I needed to change my friends 4 prong to a 3 prong. Ironically... Her name is also Leah. 😅 very helpful and gave it a like.
After watching I feel confident I can connect my stove.. thank you..
Excellent tutorial. This is the way to give instructions. Well done!
