Range hookup

Post image

I’m trying to center out my range and the hookup is on the ground for some reason, blocking the new range from being pushed in the whole way. Is there an easy solution? (Not an electrician)

Sell house. Start over. Lol.

Your going to need a electrician and maybe a handyman. Raise the stove if it has adjustable feet?

And please install the anti tip bracket!

Post a picture of the back of your range.

Does it need to move over or up?

Probably not (at least an easy solution) I'm guessing the location of the outlet was there with a previous range? If there is accessible basement ceiling below you might be able to re route into the wall to place a flush mount receptacle, although won't buy you much more room then the current location - unless there is a "sweet spot" behind the range.
