Please help, I just bought a 50's stove to replace a 50's stove The new one only has a one foot cord and the plug is upside down compared to my old receptacle. It will not reach the receptacle especially after the plug has to be turned upside down to be plugged in. Would I be able to take the three foot cord off my old stove and put it on my new stove as both are 220's. At least the old stove plug fits into our receptacle right side up I just looked at the old stove and see that the cord is attached by three screws- I assume I would just attach it to the new stove? I am going to try this but would appreciate any input prior. Or maybe I could just unscrew the short cord on the new stove and see if I can reattach it reversed so it will fit into our existing receptacle right side up? I think it may reach if it did not have to be twisted upside down to go into receptacle. I feel stupid for asking. Thank you.

If the cords are the same size wire you can replace the one on the new stove.

The existing cord on the old stove should go into a box to protect the electric power from coming into contact with something that will cause a short or spark that can cause a fire.

Replace the wires in the way they are attached to newstove and you should be fine.
