Replacing Old Hood With Over-the-range Microwave - Electrical ...
Everything went relatively smoothly except for when I wired the outlet.
The old hood was hardwired so when I took it down I shut off the breaker, drilled a hole in the cabinet above, and ran the wires up. I figured when I was done installing the microwave, I'd simply mount a box inside the cabinet and hook the wires up to an outlet so that I could plug in the new microwave.
I did all this, plugged the microwave in and went downstairs to turn on the breaker. My wife said that when I flipped it back on, a shower of sparks came from the outlet and the microwave did not turn on. If I run an extension cord to power the microwave elsewhere it works fine. Based on what shut off when I turned off the breaker, this ciruit is shared with one outlet in the kitchen plus (off all things) the washing machine in the basement. Neither of these things was being used at the time, nor did the breaker re-trip. Just sparks and no power.
I'm at a loss. What did I do wrong?
