Overhead range hood wiring question?

19 years ago

I can't figure this out. I'm installing a new overhead range hood above my stove. I took down the old one and put up the new one. One black wire, one white wire, and one ground. The two blacks go together, the two whites together and the ground goes under the green ground screw.

I'm feeling good about myself, I go down to flip the fuse back on and it trips. I keep trying and everytime I try to turn the fuse back on it keeps tripping. Never had a problem with the old hood so I'm shaking my head.

The only difference between the two hoods is that the new one is 1.7 amps and the old one was 2.1amps. In the basement the, the fuse that they are on is 15 amps.

Can somebody help me out.....:(
