A new outlet (running new wire) or replacing an old one (wires already there)?

Shut off the Power to that Receptical, diconnect the receptical, and reconnect the New receptical using the Wires from the one you replaced. Then turn the power back on and Test it with a Tester!

  1. Turn off the power to the circuit at the breaker box.
  2. Remove the old receptacle by unscrewing the cover plate, disconnecting the wires, and unscrewing the receptacle from the junction box.
  3. Install the new receptacle by connecting the wires to the appropriate terminals, securing the receptacle in the junction box, and then attaching the cover plate.
  4. Turn the power back on and test the new range receptacle to ensure it is working correctly.

First of all, what do you mean RETROFIT. a 240 outlet is a 240 volt outlet period. The difference is the amperage. A clothes dryer 30 amp. a range 50. and so on, each one has a different style recepticle (plug) I suggest you talk to an electrition . Oh and sorry about the spelling
