HU, I don’t know if what I have to say will help. I discovered that oven makers are making 24” ovens in Stainless Steel. I have ordered two 24” Frigidaire ovens that are nearly the same size as the old Thermador. The appliance dealer’s installer came and said he would figure out how to make a divider, and a mason contractor I had for another job said he could resize the brick wall, but I guess it’s up to the appliance installer to put in the divider board. So check with your appliance dealer to see if his installer can figure out how to support the upper oven.

Most (all) ovens these days have cooling fans to keep the electronics from frying. The noise may vary from oven brand to oven brand and different people have different tolerances. It's possible that your fan is making excessive noise for some reason but it may also be normal.

Yes Goldstar has been doing appliances n Asia for years but those units never see the shores of North America and this is an entirely different animal. I'm not saying it's bad, I like LG stuff and think they have a great value proposition especially on TV's. All I'm saying on this oven is that they are new to THIS market and the pricing doesn't warrant taking a chance on an upstart for me given the competition from established players that are the same price or less $$$.

That is quite odd programming. Yes GE Profile and honestly anyone else will stay on the whole time.
