I checked the connections for the stove last night and found that everything was as it should be. The breaker circuit is 40amp and the stove has a 3 prong plug. I'm not sure how I should be testing the wires at the back of the stove but when I checked for continuity between the black and white wires, there was none. Nor between the red and white or red and black. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be checking to be honest.
I looked at the breaker box but I did not see main shut off switch as I have seen on other breaker boxes so without knowing what I'm doing, I decided to leave well enough alone. Would the wires connected to the breakers which run to the stove be hot if the breaker is off? I suppose I can test that with my continuity tester. I don't have a volt tester.
Since this is an apartment, I'm just going to bite the bullet and call the landlord today. We just painted the entire apt. so I have been hesitant to call him yet as there is still much junk lying around everywhere from moving things around. It would be nice to have a stove though. I hope the stove hasn't burnt out somehow.
