Help! new problem: slide-in range doesn't fit!
Comments (13)From that spec sheet, it looks like the 31 5/16'' refers to the trim piece on the top of the range that should sit on the granite. Is the range itself wider than 30'' below the trim piece so it won't slide in it all? And from the picture, the front edge of the range should protrude ~2'' when the range has slid back all the way. As I mentioned earlier, I had my granite fabricator shave the granite so my range could slide back about an extra inch or so. If you slide your range in further, will you have room to open the doors on adjacent cabinets? There should be 1+'' clearance allowed for that....See MoreHelp - Micro/convection oven doesn't fit!
Comments (1)I'm not familiar with that specific model but I know sears often put "see instructions with unit" or something on most/all of there online specifications tabs. Then they don't give you access to those manuals, good ol' sears - thanks. For most conv/micros the most important clearance is usually the top and bottom. Think about it all those people with these built in above their oven in a tall cabinet. These things are @ 27" +/- and ovens go in a 27" or 30" cabinet. SO......you'd have zero side clearance or 1.5" max on the sides. They therefore such air in the bottom and exhaust out of the top or vice versa. What does the manual say about top/bottom clearances ??? Does that unit have any vent slots or holes on it's carcass side???...See MoreWhat would you do (re: custom vanity that doesn't fit)?
Comments (5)oh, sailor, I am soooo sorry to hear this. I can so totally sympathize. We paid a lot for our custom cabinetry in our master bathroom, and we, too, were really dissatisfied. In our case, the issues were not as bad, or more fixable. The vanity itself has sides that are a lighter wood, side drawer slides rather then bottom slides, and the drawer wood isn't well-matched for grain as I'd hoped. However, none of those things is explicitly WRONG (aside from the drawer glides, I'd specified under-mount), just "not as nice as I expected"... so we let those go. The cabinetmaker was a really nice young man with a sweet family and we liked him, so we just decided it was "good enough". The small wall cabinet over the toilet, though, had the shelf holes mis-drilled so that the shelves were crooked. We DID make him take that back are rebuild it for us, at his own expense. Assuming your cabinetmaker was made clearly aware of things like not running into the window trim, toekick heater, etc before he started, then he should fix them at his own expense. He took his own measurements, he wasn't working solely from your plans. If some of those issues were vague, and you just assumed he knew, but weren't super clear, then he might have reason to resent redo. (On our master vanity, I'd just "assumed" that the cabinetmaker would use matching wood for the sides, and try to match the wood grain on the drawers. It seemed obvious enough that I didn't think to specify. But since I hadn't, I didn't feel I could fault him too badly. Especially since our design was pretty unusual for this area -so spare and modern- and he had only built traditional cabinetry before...) Anyway, my heart goes out to you. I totally understand the renovation fatigue and depression. You plan and plan for so long... making sure every detail is thought out and carefully designed, and then you just want to give up when these sorts of issues arise. I don't know if you followed our master bathroom reno but it dragged into months and months with all the problems we had. Hang in there, it'll be finished soon, and you'll enjoy it for a long time!...See MoreHelp - Microwave/convection oven doesn't fit!
Comments (4)I assume that the MW is on a shelf that is the bottom of that cabinet, right? How about putting a fan blowing down and out from the back of the cabinet? I think if you look for a cooling fan in an electronics catalogue, you will find one you can install there. If you draw the air out from behind and below the MW, fresh, cooler air will be drawn in from the smaller spaces around the MW. This could work. They make laptop tables/trays with these fans.
