Stove/Oven transporting question

13 years ago

Hi there,
We're looking at a nice stove/oven (range) up for sale on craigslist and were wondering if it can be transported laying on it's back or side? I know that fridges can have problems when laying on their backs (compressor, oil lines breaking) but for ranges is there any danger to the electronics being jarred or other possible breakage problems that could occur? This is a Maytag double oven range which has burner coils on top (not a glass surface) and is the typical size of a regular kitchen range. Unfortunately we have a van and not a pick-up truck where it could stand upright during transport. It would have to lay on it's back or side in the van. Thanks for any insights and replies.

    Not a problem to lay it down. Be sure you're getting a deal on that range though. I wouldn't pay more than $200 for it used.
