Hi there! 👋 We're thrilled to see your video demonstrating how to remove a dirty, dated old wall oven. Removing old appliances can be quite a task, but your helpful video makes it look so easy! 🙌 well done, Great video!
Thanks for the video. Seems fairly straight forward. I have a question, though. Why didn’t you just cut the wires? You’re going to ditch the oven anyway.
Thank you for the video, so helpful! My husband and I need to remove our old double oven. I wanted to know what to expect. Our old top oven was controlled by a digital panel which broke first. And our old bottom oven was controlled by knobs which finally broke after many years, LOL It's time for a brand new single wall oven!
Very helpful tip for me: the oven door should be easily removable. Never thought of that, but I'm doing the job alone and shedding every pound of weight prior to moving the oven is important. Thank you!
They did things a little differently in Oklahoma in the early ‘90’s. You shoulda saw the drop-in oven I removed on the house before this. Electricians would be having nightmares
Thanks. I think I won’t be strong enough to do this. Was hoping to refinish the cabinets before new oven was installed but I guess that’s not happening.
I had the door locked after self cleaning. I was able to slip a small furniture flat wrench behind the oven door to remove the short (fortunately) mounting screws. 😅
Is an old video, so I don't really expect a response, but couldn't you have rotated the oven to the right and had all the access you needed to the wires instead of working over it? Also if you pulled the bottom out and let it down to the floor there would have been more slack.
Agreed he could have done that, but (my having the benefit of reading your post) I wonder how many people would have tried to turn or place the oven on the floor if they didn't have enough slack (and end up causing problems as far as the wiring). Your post is much better than the alternative of somebody posting that "I lowered my oven like in the video and my wires came out of the wall 👎" I did get a kick out of both of us being here within a day of each other, looking for how to remove a wall oven lol
I would have just cut the wires since you aren't going to save the oven. But that's just me. At least I saw how to extract the oven, something I need to work on soon.
I always fart when I bend over and lift like that. The fact that you didn't probably means you are not a professional or just not an old fart like me, huh? :-) Those damn things are heavier than you may think though. Nice video.
Thank you I have the same brand magic shef and the F2 alarm keeps going off so I'm going to remove mine tomorrow Thanks and we are the same height but mine is smaller😂
No, he meant that that the power was hard-wired into the oven. You could have just loosened the flexible conduit fitting going into the oven and disconnected the wires on the oven side instead of the wall side. Otherwise, good video. I learned something.
Dude, you didn’t turn off the power. I kept waiting to see you touch the hot wire and get knocked down. Pro tip when the microwave is lit that’s a sign that the power has not been turned off to that circuit. Otherwise great video!
I realize this is an old post but there is absolutely a good reason to remove the oven door. On my 26 year old wall oven, the door was very heavy. Removing it made the oven light enough thatwrestling the oven out of the cabinet was easier. Not easy, but definitely easier
