Flyniah Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 <p style="text-align: left;">Our Counter Top around the stove is discoloring. Sort of an orange color. We noticed it the first day but thought We would be able to clean it. Unfortunately it seems to be spreading.</p> Anyone know or have this happen?

Moderators topgun2 Posted June 21, 2019 Moderators Share Posted June 21, 2019 Nothing on mine, but, I have a relatively dark color to start with. I'd contact Jason in the Service department - their toll-free number is listed at the top of this page. Good luck!

Moderator+ ScubaRx Posted June 21, 2019 Moderator+ Share Posted June 21, 2019 I would surmise a guess that it’s heat related. 1 Steve, Tali and our dog Rocky plus our beloved Storm, Lucy, Maggie and Reacher (all waiting at the Rainbow Bridge) 2008 Legacy Elite I - Outlaw Oliver, Hull #026 | 2014 Legacy Elite II - Outlaw Oliver, Hull #050 | 2022 Silverado High Country 3500HD SRW Diesel 4x4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geronimo John Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Yea Scuba, I would agree. Possibly a heavy skillet pulled off the burner to cool. Could radiate enough heat back to the fiberglass just 3/16" below the rim of the cook top.

Moderators bugeyedriver Posted June 22, 2019 Moderators Share Posted June 22, 2019 It looks to me like heat going horizontally from the fire under the pan, heating the edge of the countertop nearest the stove. The main discoloration being adjacent to the primarily used burner. Do you use a wide diameter pan whose edge is near the countertop? There is a minor amount of discoloration beginning to manifest itself near the other burner. 1 Pete & "Bosker". TV - '18 F150 Super-cab Fx4; RV - "The Wonder Egg"; '08 Elite, Hull Number 014.

Flyniah Posted June 23, 2019 Author Share Posted June 23, 2019 It started before cooking. No heavy skillet and definitely not put or pulled onto counter to cool. I do believe it has to do with burner/heat. Thinking started when we did orientation. First noticed at state park and had never used stove top.

bhncb Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 That is a manufacturing defect that likely occurred when the opening for the stove was cut. I'd guess the counter top was still a little "green" when the opening was cut and air got between the gelcoat and substrate. OTT will replace it, just ask.
