48 inch wold gas stove partially installed

10 years ago

Jeeze louise Husband is going to be asking a million questions regarding why the new 48 inch wolf double oven is not flush with the wall.
I measured my work space,the door entry size, cleared furniture and rugs so they new stove can be installed.

I pathetically write to GW looking for guidance in how I am going to fix the gas line and the electric cord
They had removed the old viking gas stove and left the new 48 wolf ready to be slid into its work space. I had jumped behind the stove to clean the last 15 years of filth noticing the lines.

The rear panel of the wolf has a higher metal brace so the elbow gas line hits the stove. My other issue is the stove's electric plug has a thick male end .

Husband is going to be a pill. Jeeze m Crow I asked about the lines and was told it will not be an issue.

Fine I need a plumber to redo the elbow and move the gas shut off valve.
I will tinker with the electric outlet myself by either installing a recessed outlet or using a flat male end extension cord

Who is going to move the stove out of the space?
Can a 110 pound woman tug the stove forward or does the plumber do this?
YEs , I am asking ridiculous questions but I am stuck with a foolish installation. GD I asked about the lines and if they need to be moved.
I should be a happy camper having a working stove .
I paid 260 for installation but I am not installed.
and while I am in this pissy frame of mind where the hell is Spring?

Sorry to hear of your dilemma. Check with wolf service to see if the range has wheels underneath, roll the stove out. You will need muscle power, but if you hire a plumber, they will bring an extra person or two. If you don't have a plumber friend, be prepare w a few hundred. Then after, it's smooth sailing...
Spring????......it's 30deg right now in the North East.
Best of Luck!

I should have not posted anything regarding the wolf installation. The weekend was hectic and just got around to see if anyone had chimed in . Your post did make me smile so Thank You.
The hubbie did come home and did not notice that the stove was not flushed with the cabinets. I let him watch March MAdness so the questions came late Sunday night.
My plumber has prostate cancer so I will need to find the moving crew.
BTW it snowed today so I too am in the Northeast.
Thank You for adding a response it did brighten up my day.

I have the same situation. The old range had a different connection and the new range is unable to be flush. The plumber said he needs to knock the wall and move the gas connection, and an electrician will have to move the outlet. It's hooked up and we could live with it but we are getting new countertops eventually and will most likely do it then. I was thankful the plumber came Sunday morning - it had been a month without an oven. In the northeast also and also wondering where is spring! Good luck !
