I have a GE stove top and oven that are from around 1972. Will I be able to replace them with something more updated? I'm afraid of newer appliances not fitting in the spaces that were specifically made to fit the older ones.

There should be no difference between the old appliance dimension, & the new ones.
They've been standard sizes for many years, This makes it easier for architects, engineers, & designers to plan out kitchens without having to be concerned with appliance widths & depths (except fridges, they seem to pose an issue sometimes).
You can get different width & depth appliances, but all of the different sizes are standardized.
Measure your old stoves width & length & go shopping!!
Hope this was helpful, good luck!!

Well take a measurement and then go to Home Depot or something and check it out. Most stove now are standard at 29 7/8" wide.
Good Luck!

I would think so. The manufacturers realize this and I'm sure they make allowances. Good luck with your new stove. Do take measurements of the opeing when you go shopping. Also don't forget about depth of the stove.

We replaced an old 70's type drop-in oven recently. The new one slid in perfect. You should be able to find one that fits perfect. Just make sure you have the correct measurements.

Just measure the spaces and go from there.I do believe they have a standard size for appliances just to solve this problem.Good luck on your new ones...

Yes, just take the measurements to your hardware/home appliance store.

Take the measurements of your stone top and go to an appliance store. They will be able to help you. There are many sizes available. Otherwise, you may need to adjust your countertop.

most stoves are standard size. I didn't have any trouble repleacing mine. If your stove still works though, please consider asking your local Habitat for Humanity if they would like it. Just as long as it works, they'll come pick it up from your house and you can have a tax write-off as well.
