My daughter has purchased a new gas range, when she went to install, or delivery people did, they found that the pipe from the old stove will not allow this range to be push right to the wall. The stove sticks out about 4 inches.
It appears that the old stove must have had it's back off, thus allowing this pipe to extend inside the stove cavity or back of stove.
The question I guess is, would that be to code? Or was it just rigged before to make the stove fit, if so shouldn't the back of the New model stove come off too, as to allow the same set up. The stove is a tight fit in the space it's in, and the refrigerator will be placed directly across from it, the doors may not open on the new fridge is if she cannot fix this problem.
Thanks
