There's an outlet above my stove inside a cabinet that provides electricity for my microwave. Unfortunately, the circuit it is on is overloaded with other items at times so I am in the process of running a dedicated line from my circuit breaker box to the microwave outlet.
Ideally, I could just remove the overloaded circuit wires from outlet and connect the wires from the new dedicated circuit to the outlet. However, what do I do with the leftover hot wires from the old overloaded circuit? I can get to the ends of the wire (obviously because they were attached to the outlet) but I can't get to the rest of the wire because it's inside the wall...
Note: the wires from the overloaded circuit outlet are at the end of the run (no outlets after it so just terminating it is OK).
Thanks for any feedback... Kevin
