So we are considering replacing an approximately 40 year old Whirlpool electric stovetop. All I know about the wiring is that it is 220, 2x30 circuit breakers. I don't know what type of wiring. The problem is that most of the stoves I see today are 240/40 amp. I hate to think that I have to have the breakers and wiring upgraded just to replace the stovetop.
I did just find some GE stovetops that are listed as 220/30 AND 240/40 amp. I am wondering if this would work given the existing wiring and breakers?
Any comments would be greatly appreciated.
