Hi! I am new here, and am hoping someone can help me.
We just received our new Maytag gas slide-in range yesterday. After the installer installed it, the back was sitting about 3-4 inches away from the wall. It was due to a gas pipe that we have running up from the floor, about 3 inches away from the wall, and 13 inches high! The back of my Maytag has a metal backing, that prevents me from pushing it to make it flush. Ugh. How common is this problem? Or is it just unlucky me?
My old stove was a GE gas slide in (prob. 17 years old or so). I am thinking that I made a mistake in getting the Maytag, and should have gotten the GE instead, and maybe it can accomodate the pipe? Someone told me that is not necessarily so. Someone else suggested to get a plumber to fix the pipe? According to the installation manual, the hard gas pipe should be towards the left hand side of the stove. Right now, my pipe is in the center, 3 inches from wall, running upwards. Please advise.
Also, I have never hired a plumber before. How difficult is this job?
Thank you!
