Stove replacement
 

We’re expecting delivery today of a new stove, will this process go smoothly? It’s a slide-in ordered online, is there anything I need to do to prep? Will our current oven slide out? Looking for people with experience with our situation. Thanks so much!

When I got a new slide in stove the process was very easy.

It is a simple remove and replace. The old one slides out.

Make sure that you have an anti-tip device on the back wall that connects properly to the new stove. This will prevent the stove from tipping forward if you place a heavy object on the open oven door. Also, don't forget to level the oven.

Shouldn't be a problem but heck of a time to think it may be an issue…

We just did this with Lowes, had them remove old stove and install new one. They connected the new cord (had to purchase this for the install), removed the old anti-tip device and installed a new one. They leveled the stove, and then asked for a pan of water and tested the stove, and showed me how to set the clock. Very happy with the entire experience.

Stove Replacement did NOT go well!
 

The stove replacement did NOT go well - I left my husband to handle it and when I got home the installers had come and gone, hauling away the old stove and leaving us the new one - which is not installed square at all!!! There is a large, crooked gap between the granite and the back of the stove which my husband said was okay!!!!! I called Costco and they're coming back Thursday to try and do something about this. I am distraught, I don't know what they can possibly do without a granite cutter or something.
Any suggestions would be more than welcome!

Your photo is a bit out of focus, but it looks
like the corners in your granite countertop are the problem.
Not the stove.
I suppose a granite backsplash has been installed behind a stove before, but I’ve not seen it done. If the granite had stopped on each side of the stove. Then the stove could have been slid back, right up to the tiled wall, so you see less of the stove side.

Looking at your photos, I really don't see an issue with the installation. Can you explain it? I doubt that an appliance installer is going do any cutting of your granite. That would be way beyond their expertise. The main thing is that the oven has been leveled. I would also mention that most stoves will have a gap between the stove and the countertop along the sides of the oven. This gap can be closed with a T-shaped plastic trim piece that you can buy at Walmart or other stores. It will prevent dirt and other things from falling between the stove and the base cabinet. Your new stove is somewhat unusual because the back part does not stick up, which could be part of your issue.

Raise the height of the oven, will hide most of the badly cut granite. Not really Costco issue, but then again why would you leave your spouse, to accept delivery alone, when one knows the only person to make sure it’s right is oneself.

Your option may be a slide-in gap filler available Best By or Amazon

Sorry! Something went wrong!

I agree with raising the stove a little bit, if possible. But, the only real solution is to replace the stove with one that has a raised control panel in the back. Mine sticks out about 3 inches from the back wall and about 12 inches vertically up the back wall. I think Costco will replace the stove, but they are not going to cut the granite.

I agree with the possible need for "T" filler strips, but if you prefer not to use these, I have some tools that can square off the corners or otherwise smooth that area. I also agree the stove needs to be raised a little, and then make sure it is level left to right and front to back.
