Electrical Wiring of a Range Hood?
I understand how to connect wires together. Black to black and white to white. I have done several electrical jobs in my own home with success. However I am trying to connect my range hood to a main power supply and have been unsuccessful several times. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. In fact, I have undercabinet lights run to the same power supply and they work just fine. I know I am not overloading because I have even disconnected my lights and just tried the range hood. Any advice?
Answer: sounds as if the under cabinet lights that you are connecting the range hood to are low voltage. Often kitchen under cabinet lights are. The first thing you want to do in any electrical trouble shooting situation is to test the voltage---- make sure you have voltage there. In your case, you are assuming there is voltage there because the lights light up. If they are low voltage you will need to get the wiring to another power source.
