Replacing a discontinued slide-in is harder than it sounds, and the HDIP054U shows why. This Benchmark dual fuel range, no longer sold, has five gas burners totaling 55,000 BTU, and below them sits a 4.6 cu ft electric convection oven. Its cooktop overlaps the countertop cutout, and every manufacturer overlaps by a different amount.
A substitute that cannot cover the current opening in the counter leaves a visible gap, so repair is often the better economics. Given the age of these units, we usually see an oven element or temperature sensor on its way out. The front control fascia has also had years of heat from the oven door.
Measure the cutout before you order anything. As for parts, elements, sensors, fans and igniters are generally obtainable, while the control board and the fascia are the pieces we confirm before we quote, since this model is discontinued.
Not reliably. How far the cooktop reaches over the counter differs from brand to brand, and a shortfall leaves a gap. Measure the opening before you order.
Elements, sensors, fans and igniters usually can be sourced. The control board and the front fascia are the parts we verify first, before any quote.
Often, because a new range may not cover the existing countertop opening, and altering the counter adds cost. We give you the price in writing first, so you can compare it with replacement.
