wiring 110v range

[beakie]

After more than a month without a stove, we got our new propane unit fitted today.
Previous owner had normal electric, 220v 4wire

I would like to use the existing range wiring for ONLY 110v to plug the new stove in.
Is that possible?
Can I get a simple walk-thru if so?

I'm confident doing the work myself, having done plenty wiring before... but never messed with 220v.

Thanks

You need to replace the 2 pole breaker with a single pole breaker and cap off one of the wires that will not be used. Then you need to replace the outlet with a duplex outlet, problem you may have is getting wires onto outlet so you may have to wire nut smaller wire onto it to fit around screws. Just make sure you pick a color to use on the outlet and cap the other one off in panel and outlet. Example is taking reds if you have them and just use the blacks.

Just run a new 115v circuit.

How many wires, plus the ground, are in the existing stove wiring? Three (two hots and a neutral) or two (two hots, no neutral) and the ground or ground/neutral combination.

Why bother?

Thanks 79firebird, I never knew such an adapter was available.

Had I had the situation that the OP is in, I would have fabricated something like this since neutral was already in the box. This is much cleaner than what I would have made.

Seems like it is only available in Canada.

wanting to conclude this thread.

picked up the converter plug this morning, kinda pricey @ $35, but it was worth the simplicity and being able to answer my lovely wifes "when are you going to fix that?" question.

thanks for all ideas and help.

Never knew such an animal existed, very cool, I guess…

Yup costs a little but in the end it does not becase of the price of a new Breaker then a outlet and cover plus your time. Then for the next person they can change it out if they wanted.
