I could replace the circuit. It's a dedicated circuit of course, 220 volts with a 40 amp breaker. It would mean cutting out a bunch of drywall and tearing out the cabinets that have just been installed. But if done properly there is no problem with splicing the wires. Aluminconns are approved for splicing aluminum/copper wire. I think it's the only NEC approved permanent repair. It a lug system just like the lugs used to connect the aluminum service cable to the copper house circuit. The aluminum and copper never come in contact with each other. It's an NEC approved method of making the splice. The only problem is it's so darned hard to get your hands on one.
