That's the way it was wired when I bought the house in 2007. Go figure.

Thanks Nuttsgt, When I choose an alternative, if I pick a new circuit I'll have to have an electrician make that call.

Could be original to the house - 1979. I bought it in 2007.

Shame on the electrician who wired it that way. I have enough advise to be able to at least have my alternatives in front of me. I'm thankful for that.

My island that has the gas range and a receptacle and the coffee maker are both in the kitchen but share with the living room circuit. That's the way my house was when I bought in 2007.

The kitchen is on a different circuit from the living room. At least that's the way I traced it back to the panel when I was labeling it.

I'm grateful for all the good advice I'm receiving. I'm learning much. Thanks to all of you, Mike

The kitchen has the normal appliances and that circuit has never tripped. I'm thinking of moving the coffee maker to another non-iiving room circuit or as advised get it on a new circuit.

This coffee maker is commercial grade and we're keeping it (maybe move it to another kitchen receptacle off the living room circuit). My island has a receptacle (that shares the living room circuit) that trips the breaker when all other draws are running (it's the last straw that trips the...

Is there any to test the breaker? I have a DMM.

Coffee maker (Bunn) draws 13.3 amps and is in the kitchen whose particular receptacle shares with the living room. Lights are ordinary lamps with LED bulbs.

I have a 55" monitor, 110 watt stereo receiver, 4 lights, coffee maker...

My living room runs on a 15 amp breaker. Occasionally There's too much current and the breaker trips as normal. I would like to change it to a 20 amp breaker. I assume that it's wired in 14 gauge. To be safe would the wiring need to changed to 12 gauge? Are there any other alternatives to...

Final thoughts: Both tubes working. Wiring and switch removed. Base and items pulled The light works great! No more heat. Ballasts/capacitor removed. Tubes suppose to last 50,000 hours. The light will out live me. Enjoy!

Here's the actual way I wired the white (yellow in the pic) wire in my diagram above. It's the same as my 4ft Fluorescent to LED bypass conversion.
