“I purchased the Samsung Double Wall Oven, the installer stated he needed an additional inch because the power cord needed to go behind the oven. This makes the depth 24.5 inches not 23.5. Why can't the wire go on the side of the oven to the box?”

Unfortunately, I had the same problem! Since our cabinets were already custom-made to fit the ovens' descriptive measurements, they project out one-half of an inch and are not securely screwed to the wall. Grrr! The appliance installer told me that the ovens were too heavy to tip over and were safe. I don't like it, but I only notice it on one side, and that side is basically in a blind corner.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Based on your answer, My box is on the side. Can I run the wiring to the side so I don't need the 1 inch in the back. It's a flex line.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hi There, Let me help you clarify your query. The depth measurement of the unit is fixed at 23 1/8 inches. The reason it requires an additional inch from the back is to give space for the wiring connection since the cord should be directly connected to the junction box. Have a great day! ^Chrystel
