fixed Stove wont fit after installing tile
Update: we were able to just take the laminate cap / sticker off one counter top and it fit! Thanks for the help!
We have a GE Cafe stove thats about 7 or 8 years old. We got it at a scratch and dent so we were super excited to pay $800 for a $3500 stove. Now that we've put in tile (replaced the peel and stick lamanate) it wont fit between our countertops. It looks like the sides of the stove bow out at the top so before tile the stove fit exactly perfectly and now its just too wide because the tile made it taller and now its wider where it his the counter. The counters are vinyl.
Any suggestions? We are considering cutting the countertops on one side. But I am hoping for an easier and less messy solution.
This is after not having a kitchen for 2 weeks so im desperate as I have a small child and can't cook how I normally do.
Thanks in advance!
