Shopping for a new cooktop, range, or wall oven comes with a list of considerations, but one that often gets overlooked is whether a new appliance will fit in the cutout of your old unit. While measuring the space for a new appliance is the first step in replacing an old model, many shoppers make the mistake of going by dimension alone.
But not every brand is the same, and even different cooking appliance models from the same manufacturer might have different dimensions, which requires a separate cutout size. In fact, it’s such a common issue that brands like GE, Electrolux, and their affiliates are now backing select cooking appliances with fit guarantees.
What is a fit guarantee, and how does it work? Follow along as we explain why these installation assurances are worth considering, plus a look into the brands that offer the incentive.

Will it Fit?
Did you know that even though cooking appliances come in standard industry sizes, replacing one brand with another doesn’t always mean an easy installation? It all has to do with each brand’s unique manufacturing. Some require more room in the anterior for wire fuel lines, while others might just have a design that occupies a little more cabinet space than another model. Not to mention, older homes often have tricker cutouts that require custom installations (a.k.a., greater installation costs).
That’s the value of brands like GE and Frigidaire, who back select ranges, wall ovens, and cooktops with a fit guarantee.
Learn from the Experts First
Shopping appliances with fit guarantees are a great way to ensure your new cooktop, range, or wall oven looks and performs at its best. But don’t leave anything to chance. The best way to ensure a new kitchen appliance is a fit for your cooking space is by properly measuring each cutout before purchasing and installing a new unit. To get you up to speed on everything you should know about ranges, cooktops, and wall ovens, take a look at our comprehensive guides.

How GE & Electrolux Fit Guarantees Make Replacing Appliances Easier
Both the GE and Electrolux family of appliances are already trusted names in the industry, and adding fit guarantees to several of its appliances means these brands are more reliable than ever. Currently, qualifying products include:
- 27” wall ovens | 30” wall ovens
- 30” cooktops | 36” cooktops
- 30” ranges
How does a fit guarantee work?
Each brand has its own terms, but essentially, a fit guarantee means your new cooking appliance will be the same size as your old model and will install with no problem. If it doesn’t, the manufacturer will reimburse you for the cost to customize a cutout for a better fit.
Overall, cooking appliances with fit guarantees credit up to $300 back to buyers in order to fix the problem.
That’s BIG because:
✓ You don’t have to return an appliance.
✓ There’s no need to wait on a new appliance to ship.
✓ It helps eliminate the cost of two separate installations.
✓ You don’t have to compromise on another appliance.
✓ A perfect installation ensures your appliance operates properly.
✓ Adequately installed appliances give a kitchen a professional look.
It’s worth mentioning that a fit guarantee reimbursement helps with any unforeseen cost of modifying existing cabinets, but it does not cover the cost of installation.
