We did this last time with the dryer, but no one want the trouble to
pick it up here in my neighborhood so I don't really want to do this
again..
Another thing is to unhook the gas range itself is a bit challenging to
me, as it is NOT as easy as remove a electric range... by the way,
generally speaking, are most of the kit-valve & regulator in a gas
range that easy to break these days?? Just curious...
The four burners are working perfectly, just the oven. Any suggestion
about how to further test it (if I could find the way to "lift-up" the
cooktop of this gas range)...
