I am replacing an outlet on my kitchen island and it is wired with a red, black, white and ground wires. I did not check the original wiring before I disconnected it and now I can't remember which wire went where.

Do you still have the old receptacle? I bet the tab was broken off between the two brass screws.
If so then the red and black go each on a brass screw with the tab broken.
White to silver.
Ground to green.

Are you in Canada?

Are you in Canada? Yes, in the Okanagan

You were right the tab was broken. Woking good now.

Thanks a lot.
