Electrolux slide-in range installation problem- anyone else?
Comments (5)Same problem. Just had counters put in yesterday. Went to lower my new stove (2 weeks old) and it won't lower any further. Installers never told me it was at the lowest setting. The were supposed to keep it high off of my old counters so that we could install new counters and then lower the stove. My counters are at 35 1/4 " because I have a floor that was installed over existing flooring. I didn't know this until today. The appliance place told me today that the stove won't go any lower. I can't take feet off or the bottom drawer won't open and it still wouldn't lower it enough. It sits 3/4" higher than the counters. This looks ridiculous since it sits so high off of the counter. I would never have bought this stove. I thought of everything before the new counters came. I had to level my dishwasher and put flooring under it since the floor was built around it. I've done so much to prepare for the counters. I am disgusted. The appliance store recommended that I have a U shaped granite filler cut to go around the sides and back so it will sit flush to something. This U shaped piece would sit on top of my new counter top. I think it is going to look ridiculous. I have my counter top company looking into some ideas. Any other thoughts?...See MoreAnyone else have a Fagor 36 Induction Cooktop?
Comments (15)We bought the unit two years before it was installed (we are DIYers). It sat in our front hall and never moved. When it was installed, the middle hob never worked (thus DOA). We have never seen a "fault code" that I know of. The first repair person never spoke to any technical help or used any on-line help while at our house. 3 parts were ordered, why he chose those three, we don't know. But none of them were what we would consider the "touchpad" which seems the most likely culprit. I sort of understand not taking back "used" parts. But my feeling is that the service person should be competent enough to diagnose the problem and order the correct part. I have never had an appliance fixed where I was required to pre-pay for the parts with absolutely no guartantee that the unit would be working at some point. Having Fagor remove the cooktop and send it out for repair is not really an option. What would I cook on? I don't think there is anything wrong with either the new or the old parts. They just weren't what was the broken. And now the new repairman wants us to pre-pay another $247 for the touchpad (with still no guarantee). If anyone, I feel that ADCO(Fagor's service provider) is at fault for recommending a repair company who was incompetent and then not backing us up with him. I agree we deserve a refund for $720 in spare parts we had to buy....See MoreDoes anyone else have this problem?
Comments (17)We replaced floors, counters, and appliances in our kitchen. We did this over the span of about a year, as we had the money for each step. We just purchased a refrigerator a few weeks ago to complete the project. We also painted and refreshed the kitchen in other minor ways along the way. So it wasn't a totally brand new kitchen like most of the big kitchen renos here. Nevertheless, I found myself being very protective of the kitchen. While I didn't hesitate to start cooking there and, in fact, was excited about it, I was much more careful when cooking my first few meals. Frankly, I'm still more conscious of quickly cleaning up spills and I'm being more careful when I'm cooking---not a bad thing in my mind. But I've noticed that being so deliberate in how I cook everything has increased the time needed for meal preparation somewhat. However, my weird thing is is that I don't really want anyone else touching things in my kitchen. For example, I've had the flu for a few days but since no one else here cooks, I've been putting together simple meals despite being sick. DH bought an unbaked pizza to give me a break from cooking. Normally, he can and will follow the directions and heat up the oven and bake the pizza. But he's never used the new oven and wasn't sure how to even turn it on. Normally, I would have told him how and relaxed while he did it. But this time I insisted I could bake the pizza (although I didn't tell him, it was because I don't really want anyone else touching my SS appliances and getting them all smudged). I inwardly cringe every time my rather messy daughter goes to get a drink out of the refrigerator, even though I tell myself it's ridiculous. I hope this feeling goes away soon, but in the meantime I'm just concentrating on not letting others see me cringe. Another example---when we have friends over I really don't want them to help with the dishes after a meal (even before the kitchen update). I've always said that I prefer to visit with them while they're here and I'll do the dishes later. But now I have to restrain myself from flinging my body between them and the sink, as I'm afraid a stray platter might chip the edge of the granite around the sink. Maybe once I've put the first chip there I'll relax more. I really hope so....See MoreDoes Anyone have the Wolf Range with a Griddle?
Comments (2)I don't like grease going into the drip hole so I wad up a paper towel and shove it in there if I'm doing greasy stuff. Then I just sop up all the grease with more PT's. Though I don't believe mine does as you describe, grease flows off the front edge of the griddle into the drip tray, then out thru the hole to the lower drip pan. Is your range leveled well?...See Morewekick
