From your pic, the problem is the granite countertop, not the stove.
The small piece of granite along the back of the stove should not be there, the stove, per your pic, sticks out about an inch or more. You’ll need to get granite along the back removed. Not the fault of Costco. |
No, it will not go smoothly.

Plus, they shouldn’t have put a piece of granite in the opening in the back in front of the backsplash because this is causing your stove to be way too far out into your kitchen. If you live south of 44 and have gas you will need a new gas line, they won’t install it using an old gas line. |
No problem

If you're replacing a gas stove with an electric stove, you have to carefully cap the gas line and install a 220 volt plug. Unless you're really handy, call an electrician and a gas plumber. |

My recommendation is don't let the installers leave until you check the level yourself and make sure the knob numbers match what the burner is doing i.e, if you set it to medium, make sure it is actually on medium and not high or low. Seems easy to notice, but it isn't. I would also check the oven controls as well. |
FoPAA....so? how did it go?

Sounds like you are blaming your husband for crooked granite
|
So, as I have said it did not go well. To clarify we are replacing an electric stove with an electric induction stove. As far as the functionality I believe all is well, it’s the cosmetics that have me upset. Costco is returning tomorrow to see what can be done.

The stove appears to need a simple leveling and have the feet lowered to raise the stove for proper fit.

I would point out that it appears that the stove you selected (Samsung?) is about 29 inches deep as measured to the front of the oven door. My Whirlpool stove measures only 25 inches in depth. So, you have an extra 4 inches of depth. The controls and handle take up even more space. That is part of the reason that the stove protrudes several inches beyond the front of the base cabinet. Removing the small piece of granite at the back wall may help if the stove can be pushed back, but the stove will still protrude into the kitchen. I believe that it would require the services of a granite company to remove the granite piece.

He came, he removed the granite from behind the stove, and now my stove fits like a built-in! Thank you, thank you VT!

Update, the problem has been solved. As pointed out previously there was an additional piece of countertop in the area of the back splash. Once this was removed and the joints cleaned up, the new stove fit in place as was expected. I want to thank the person that noticed the extra piece of countertop, when I looked at the photos again, I realized I had missed that. I took about 1/2 hour to remove the extra stone countertop, and clean the joints.
