    60 amp breaker being used for electric stove
    The previous owner moved the electric stove to the kitchen island, adding a 60 amp breaker. I am moving the stove back to the main wall. I know it does not need this many amps, what are my options to fix this?

    First determine the actual amperage needed and then replace the breaker if necessary. How do you know it doesn't need 60? Do you know the wire gauge?
    If the wire gauge is appropriate for the range rating, you can always install a smaller breaker.
