    I considered trying to move the oven. Not sure how flexible the gas line is, or if it should be disconnected first etc. I’m comfortable with electric, don’t know a thing about gas beyond not to mess with it.

    There’s a dedicated 240V 40A breaker in the panel, has been in the tripped position since before we moved in. I haven’t physically traced the line, cramped attic and semi-finished basement. When replacement time gets nearer I’ll take a closer look before making a decision. Just not looking forward to it. Every time I’ve taken a closer look at this place, I haven’t liked what I found. 🫠

      Fair enough. Gas ovens are supposed to have a flex line for the final connection.

      But I know how that is. I’ve had to open walls because I found circuits that just didn’t have a ground and the flexible conduit they had just would abruptly stop half way without any grommets or anything. The more I see how the previous owner did their work, the more I regret opening anything.
