  You make me wonder if this is a joke. Assuming it is not, I totally &lt;br&gt; agree with the other poster. Your electric stove would be a fine &lt;br&gt; example of putting more current through a wire than is electrically &lt;br&gt; safe. In the case of the electric stove, the burners are designed to &lt;br&gt; &amp;quot;over heat.&amp;quot; A 14 guage wire is designed for a maximum of 15 amps. A

  This does pose a fire risk and it is not to code. If the previous wire &lt;br&gt; was #10 then this most likely allowed for a higher rated circuit &lt;br&gt; breaker. By putting a smaller gauge wire on that line, that section of &lt;br&gt; wire could have more current passing through that portion of the wire &lt;br&gt; then the #14 is rated for without tripping the circuit breaker.

  I just did an electrical job where I spliced in about 2&#39; of &#39;normal&#39; &lt;br&gt; gauge elec. wire (#14?) in a long run of heavier elec. wire (#10?). &lt;br&gt; Everything seems to be working fine, but I wonder whether mixing the &lt;br&gt; different gauges of wire poses any fire risk.
