Ovens in plinths

[Dave Appleby]

Hi.

Hopefully an easy one.

Is there a simple way of removing a dead oven from a fitted plinth unit?

Has an induction hob in the worktop above.

Howdens carcasses and Lamona oven if it makes any difference.

Thanks

Dave

2-4 screws behind oven door in the sides of the oven itself when open and slide it out unless I’m missing something......

All the ovens I’ve fitted mate its the only place, good luck

open oven door. if an electricuan has fitted it, there will probably 4 pozi screws securing it in place. if it's been fitted by a kitchen fitter, there might be 2. if a plumber has done it. it will be stuck in with mastic. if a builder has done it it will have 4" nails fired in fron a nail gun.

So so true ????

Hmmmmmm plasterers arnt allowed tools that was decided long ago by wiser heads!

The plasterers ovens aren’t fixed in at all.
oven slides out, hob pops up out the worktop, and the hood is just jammed in between two badly fitted wall units

If it's a built under double oven you would need to remove the plinth as well to get it out, along the same lines as an integrated dishwasher or washing machine it goes all the way to the floor.

not if a plasterer has been around. there will be 4" of his muck on the floor.

Had a squint under earlier.

Definitely not fully integrated. Big airgap below.

Shouldn't be too bad.

Thanks everyone!

I think I'll caulk it back in ???

Kev and his like use plasterboard screws for everything! The black finish fits in with the oven surround. 2 or 4 screws will be seen when you open the oven door.

OK..

So..

Forensic diagnosis please

Three screws.

2 different size Pozi and a domed slotted.

Whoever could it be? Nothing quite fits Telectrix's well thought out exemplar!

And.. What the hell... It's Friday!

Have fun all

Let's be careful out there!
