That appears to be a 10-50R receptacle. The (top) vertical slot is the neutral, and the two slanted slots are the 240VAC (120VAC from each to neutral). If the stove you're interested in purchasing doesn't come with a compatible plug, you can purchase a new 3-wire cord set that is compatible with your receptacle. Here's an example of cord set: https://www.amazon.com/EZ-FLO-61242-...dp/B011P2H3GA/
So if I remove the existing cord from my old stove, I may be able to install it on the new range as well? Would any new electric stove be compatible with that three prong cord?
Yes.... it's an old style 240v 50A range receptacle.
Most newer ranges are 120/240v.
Most appliances can be wired for three or four prong receptacles.
The wiring of a particular appliance will be in its installation instructions.
The shift towards four wire/slot receptacles is current code for proper appliance grounding.
Will they open the box outside for me before they bring it inside?
Yes, they should unless they are only doing a curb delivery. Ranges are typically close to the standard kitchen cabinet depth which is 24" +/- 2". A range should fit fine through a 30" door. You should be able to measure the range you buy at the showroom.
The 50 amp receptacle/circuit will work fine for a 40 amp range. You may be required to change the breaker if the manufacturer requires a 40 amp max breaker.
The manufacturer requires a 40 amp minimum. The specs say, "This appliance must be supplied with the proper voltage and frequency, and connected to an individual, properly grounded, 40 amp (minimum) branch circuit protected by a circuit breaker or time-delay fuse."
GE French Door Fridge. Purchase November of 2022.
After six months, water filter status indicates the filter should be replaced. Replaced with a GE filter that has the RFID tag.
The status indicator still shows the filter should be replaced. It is supposed to reset automatically but it does not. Removed and replaced like three times now just to make sure I got it in right.
Thinking need to buy another filter :wall:or live with indicator coming on each time we dispense water.Read More
Our Washer goes whahunka-wahunka-wahunka and bounces around loudly during the spin cycle even with average-sized load. This is a recent development, it has worked well until recently even with heavy loads. We use it daily.

How do I get a new stove that is compatible?
