dammit. It took me about 1 1/2 hours trying to reconnect all those wires to the receptacle and getting them to bend in order to fit back into the box, but I had it!!! Then, on the last step,screwing the outlet cover back on, I screwed too tight, and the receptacle cracked through the middle!!!!! ARGHHH!!!!
Can't I get an electrician to do this?!! I don't wanna do no more damn outlets!!! They say, pull it out gently, but those wires are so stiff that gentleness sure as heck isn't going to get them pulled out, or pushed back in. An electrician will probably say the outlet shouldn't be wired like that, feeding the stove fan/light in addition to the other outlet, in the first place. But how else can they rewire it? Maybe connect it to one of the circuits from the attic?
