Hi Ron. Great video. I have an issue that is not covered in your tutorial. While I am also replacing a double wall oven, mine is gas from the 1960's. They don't make double gas ovens anymore. So, the best I can do is to go with a single one with a broiler on the bottom (which can be regular or oversized). Even with the large broiler, the cutout is going to be way too tall for the new oven. I measured about 50.5 inches vs. the 45.5 needed for the new oven. How do I install it? Would I need to get supports and then cover up the hole with some kind of trim? Thanks!

I have an old Westinghouse 43 years old that just died. Strange thing is it was a 21" wall oven, any suggestions do they even make that size anymore because I can't find them? p.s. congrats on the wife don't know how old the video is but goodluck to you and your new one on the way.

Hi Steve,

These ovens are made to be installed into the wall as shown in the video. Some manufacturers may have different installation requirements that should be followed.

I've done a considerable amount of home improvements, repairs, etc. and must say that this video was outstanding. I'm presently in the process of replacing an old built in oven identical to the one in the video. Thanks for sharing.

I will have to hire someone to put my new oven in - will it take a carpenter to adjust the opening because the length of the oven is a few inches longer, and an electrician? Have no clue how to start this project.

The junction box installation shown will only work if you have enough room between the back of the oven and the wall. In my case, there was MAYBE 1/4" of an inch. No room for the L-shaped connector, let alone the oven cable. I recessed the junction box, bringing the feed cable through the bottom opening. I then had to cut an opening in the wall at the bottom of the cabinet that would accomodate the oven cable. I then fed the cable through the wall to the junction box. Everything was now flush. Only then was I able to insert the oven. I wish it would have as easy as this video shows!

hello Nice video first of all I noticed that you connected the bare ground wire and the white-neutral wire from your oven to the white wire coming from your wall. Is that the way it should always be. In my particular oven I have a RED, Black, White and Bare wire. My wall has the same. Should they all stay with the same color...or should I connect something together here?
