Yes, you did the right thing. In Feng Shui, it is always best to have the stove face the Fire element direction.

Yes, this is not ideal but it is better than having it next to a water element e.g. wash basin or refrigerator.

The good news is that since you mentioned that your stove is facing the South, which belongs to the Fire element, it is acceptable to have a water position e.g. refrigerator to be facing the `fire' element ie. the stove to `cool down the Fire' element.

Good Luck in your renovations!
