Need new microwave

My MW recently stopped working. (Over the range) I pulled it out and was going to replace it. The only problem I'm having is the fact that it was mounted to the wall. It was the standard size for home...29 7/8 inches. All of the MW's that I find are cabinet mounted. Does anyone have any suggestions as to where I might find one. The RV place wants 800.00 and I think that is a little out of range.

  • I built a shelf that held the unit during travel and got a cheapie microwave for $50. That was ten years ago. The bell no longer dings but all else is good

    If you have the wall mount like ford truck guy posted, I've installed a couple of them and it's not a tough job. You basically mount the wall plate and the microwave hooks into the plate and is held in with a couple of screws. That type is the only type of wall mount I've seen. If that works for you, they can be had for around $350 or so.
  • If you like the micro you have now, remove it and take it to a repair shop. The one in our house stopped working. My hubby took it out and to a local repair shop. All it needed was a new circuit board. Bill was $110.00 and it's been running like a champ for over a year so far.
