Matching Microwave and Range displays

16 years ago

We are in the midst of a kitchen upgrade and have been pretty much dragged our feet on the appliances.

We have chosen a microwave range hood, and are pretty much happy with it, However, we noticed last night that the clock display is blue, and that most of the displays on the ranges we are looking at are green. And it kind of bugs us.

Does anyone out there know:

1. What manufactures of smoothtop ranges use a blue display for there clock, or

2. Any way to change the color of the clock display?

Option 3 would be to return the microwave an replace it with something that matches the range we ultimately choose, but since the cabinets were sized to the range, we would prefer not to go down that route.

You really need to pick your range based on its capabilities and features not the color of its display. You don't say what kind of range you're getting but all gas ranges, for example, may not even have an electronic display - my DCS range doesn't have one. If you're stuck with an electric range with a display, I would add options 4 and 5:

4. Get rid of the MW and put in a real vent hood. PUt a MW somewhere else.

5. Learn to live with the different color displays.

The current Kenmore Elite ranges use blue displays if you could find one of them you like.

We just received our Samsung smooth top range and OTR microwave the other week. Both with matching blue displays.

Samsung SMH9187ST Stainless Steel (microwave)
Samsung FTQ353IWUX Stainless Steel (range)

I don't think you can change the display colors on most appliances. They typically are what they are.
