Really nice video thank you. When wiring your outlet the wires need to wrap around the other way though.

This came at just the right time. You were very detailed and I feel that it is doable. I liked that you don't have to cut out and insert the box but that it is mounted to back of cabinet. The zip ties also a great idea. Just staple them out of the way. Thanks you two are awesome.

Toni, timing is everything. We hope that it helps you while you're doing your project. Stapling the zip ties to the back helped immensely. You definitely don't have to cut a hole in the wall to make a new outlet. We always appreciate you. Best, -DIYPC 😃✨

The idea of trying anything electrical can be scary and I like how you provide simple instructions with sharing past challenges you guys experienced.

@DIYPowerCouple 2 жыл бұрын

We had to learn the right way to handle electricity so it wouldn't be so scary anymore. Turning it off at the fuse box and using a voltage ⚡ tester really helped with eliminating the fear. Thank you very much for your wonderful comment. -DIYPC 😃✨

Shouldn’t it be a gfci outlet, though?

@DIYPowerCouple 7 ай бұрын

Yes, we had to change it once we realized it. ☺️

When terminating devices...always start with wire left of terminal and hook to the right (4:26) Great video

Does it need to be on a 20A breaker?

@DIYPowerCouple 2 ай бұрын

Not necessarily, it should match the breaker in the fuse box.

That's weird you couldn't use the same plug because my dishwasher and garbage disposal (light switch) are plugged into the same outlet. I even had a touchless faucet installed and it's plugged in too. Of course, I had to get an adapter to plug in three items. Anywho, I want to install smart light switches above my top cabinets without running cords on the ceiling to get from one side to anohter. Doing this will solve that problem. Thanks for posting!

National code requires a GFCI outlet. Not a good install.

@DIYPowerCouple 3 ай бұрын

We can change it to a GFCI outlet. Thanks for your comment.

@BG-fx8ce Жыл бұрын

Very strong possibility that only the top outlet that the garbage disposal is plugged into is on a switch. That’s the way ours is. Bottom one for dishwasher not on the switch.
