![]() ![]() ![]() If you do that the rear connections will fit perfectly on each side (see picture #2). ![]() The inside radius of the trim piece (see picture #3) needs to go over the top radius of the range not to its side. If you can't get this measurement because of countertop or flooring thickness then these won't work or you'll have a gap if too high. The range needs to be about 1/8" above the countertop. I believe they're not installing these properly. A lot of people on these reviews say the trim pieces don't line up in the rear. I've done that before for other customers. The only other way would be to go to a sheet metal shop and have pieces made which would match the range but would cost a lot more. They could have made the side pieces longer and we could cut the length to fit. My range has black side panels so those are noticeable. I would perfer to cut out that entire rear area and push the range back 2-1/2 more inches because the range is pretty deep but you have to fudge back and forth to make things as good as they can be. The front bevel on the trim piece should line up with the radius on the front countertop (see picture #1). I'm glad I didn't cut that rear area out fully until I got the trim pieces. All the pieces fit with the front bevel of the trim piece even with the front radius of the countertop. Mine had about 2-3/4" to the wall so this works about right if I cut the back out another 1/2". It says in the installation manual: "remaining counter depth should not exceed 2ΒΌ". Fortunatly my previous oven and countertop was cut as an alcove so there was 2-1/4" on the back. Second, the side trim pieces are 22-7/8" and if you have a normal countertop with a back splash only and push some ranges back to the wall like it should be, these side pieces would be too short. Some will have a brushed stainless finish which would match and mine which is more of a polished stainless finish doesn't match but still looks okay. However the manufacturer makes it to fit probably half the Whirlpool ovens. First off, there is only two things I don't like about this trim kit (W10675028). I didn't buy these on Amazon because it was not only unavailable but more expensive, same on the Whirlpool site.
