I've been wanting to purchase these but was also concerned they would not stay in place. This will solve that issue and definitely reduce the archaeological findings under the stove. Thank you for this tip!

[@karolegi6539]

Just got my new stove and the awful looking fillers. I'm going with what he did here, but the fillers that I just bought are too stiff. Make sure you get flexible fillers.

[@LisaL20000]

Oh ok cool. When I first opened the video I was thinking I better make I don't get that kind. I've NVR seen either kind in person but now I'm thinking these flex ones would look better ​@@karolegi6539

Great video. I pulled my stove out and all kinds stuff was there including 4 steak knives. Thanks for creating this video for all of us to learn from. I am ordering my stove gap cover now.

[@wetlifesports]

TY, glad it helped. Hurry, it will keep the Turkey out of the crack! Have a good T day.

"...including 4 steak knives." 😂

[@KrystalNichelle]

Great video. I’m getting a new stove next week and I see the mess I’ve made with my old one when it was pulled out. Gonna clean up the area underneath and use this to ensure I never have the problem again 👍🏽

[@iindium49]

That looks so much better!

[@gisellemartinez5117]

Thank you so much. I was looking into buying one of these gap covers but my stove is higher than the counter so it would not work the way they were meant to be used. I started looking for ideas on what to use to fill the gap and found yours. Great idea! Thank you!!!!!!!

[@wetlifesports]

U bet, glad it helped.

[@donnieb9815]

great idea , I think one of the best ways to help keep it clean would be to use an old tooth brush

[@wetlifesports]

@@donnieb9815 thx, that might work too.

[@Brian-hs6sc]

Your stove should have adjustable feet at each corner, I just installed a new stove and had to adjust them about an inch to make the stove level with the countertop.

[@wetlifesports]

@@Brian-hs6sc yes, I actually had to remove the feet entirely to get mine to that even height.

[@msllubin8]

Much better solution ... Thank you!!

[@wetlifesports]

Your welcome, glad it helped.

[@comet969]

😱 thank you because they never fit correctly on my stove cause my counter is a little bit lower I keep thinking what can I shove in there so now I’m gonna do this thank you so so Much you saved the sides of my cabinets from certain doom 😂. And yes I have adjusted the stove legs. It’s old

Nice hack! More importantly, are those peel and stick countertop covers? Been looking into this project myself and these look pretty good!

[@wetlifesports]

@@Ikbell123 no, not peel and stick. They fit tight when folded and crammed in.

Was thinking of using dark gray foam backer rod of the appropriate diameter, then saw your video. Still might do it, but nice hack.

[@albernal6653]

manufactures need to add a lip an inch wide to the ranges on the sides. That built in look is more esthetic and more hygienic

[@chrispetro1664]

This is such a clever idea. Thanks! I don't have my new stove yet, but it looks like there is going to be approx. 1/8" gap on each side. Do you think this filler wouldd work for that measurement or is it too thick?

[@wetlifesports]

Yw, thx. It will work because you'll make it work, cut the rubber if necessary. Gl

[@joangrimm1]

[@cindyrayson2835]

How do you take the whole oven out ? It's in, but i can't get it out

[@wetlifesports]

@@cindyrayson2835 not sure what you mean? Your oven is stuck? Your trying to get the rubber strip out? To pull out the oven you can pull out the lower drawer and set it aside and then grip it under there. Maybe you can also see if your feet are stuck behind the flooring or something. Then you'll need to lift and pull. You can try pulling on the door but test it slowly too see if the door is strong enough. I'd be cautious of that. If door is open palm it on the ceiling of the oven and lift and pull. Gl

[@karolegi6539]

Thank you for that! I had a slide in gas stove for 30 years. That inevitable day came, and I had to buy a new gas stove (screw the appliance police). I asked, what's the difference between a slide in and a free standing, other than the finished sides. No difference, they said. Wrong! Huge difference! The slide in is made to 'seamlessly' slide in, flush with the counter. The free standing has a rolled edge and no finished gap filler. Contemporary gas stoves, all, have those ugly grates that sit well above the countertop. Looks like a danged outdoor grill, awful. I got the gap fillers. Tacky, tacky, tacky! The counter has a rolled edge, so even more tacky. I don't think the gap filler is as pliable as the one you used in your video, but I'll find some. My stove and counters are white, so less forgiving of ugly make-do efforts. I see how you fit the filler in at the front, that is also very helpful. I was struggling with trying to make the squared corner stove marrying into the rolled edge counter. My amazing contractor tells me that I fuss about details that most people ignore. I suspect he's thinking about the new countertop project. I'm going to show him what you did!

Lower it. I actually took the adjustable legs all the way off.

[@wetlifesports]

[@wassim2k]

you can lower your oven so it's flush with the counter. good idea though. I ended getting the stainless steel ones.

[@wetlifesports]

Yes, i took off factory feet and screwed on plastic pieces to lower it.

[@chrispetro1664]

Could you share where you bought the stainless steel ones?

[@joyjohnson2647]

Have these ever melted from the heat between your stove and counter?

[@wetlifesports]

No way, silicone, just like a silicone oven mitt.

[@karolegi6539]

Make sure the fillers are silicone and it will be fine. Anything else is likely to be a mess.

Damn Manufacturers, provides nothing. Took the overlapping tops off the market. Why? This still is a crap fix. But, yes, dramatic improvement over the designers idea. There is a aluminum strip that wedges in, but still gives inside corners to catch crud.

[@singlefather01]

This is sad. The product is not used in a way that was intended fir

[@wetlifesports]

And.. it works great.

[@singlefather01]

@@wetlifesports Unfortunately now the small junk and liquid get stuck in between. I just caulked it with high temp caulking.

[@wetlifesports]

@@singlefather01 yes, i just pull them from time to time and wash. Caulk works too.

[@lesjf8832]

The whole point is not having to collect crumbs from between the stove and the counter and you demonstrated that small particles still fall in the crack that still exists even when you shove the silicone strip between the two. This is not a solution for me.

[@wetlifesports]

Yes but you don't lose the crumbs into the crack and invite critters. There are very few perfect solutions, actually I've not heard of any. Sometimes you just make improvements. Maybe caulk it with a color match caulk that you can make perfectly smooth and then you'll just have to redo if and when you need to remove the stove?
