Microwave replacement problem

I need to replace the microwave in my 2004 Coachmen Class C. The rubber feet on the old one (Samsung MR1031WB)appear to have been glued in place. There is a metal trim piece attached to the bottom of the microwave that prevents getting access to the underside. Has anyone else run into this problem? Any ideas on how to get the microwave out?
Thanks!
  • The rubber feet probably over time melted/stuck themselves to the plate, hard to believe they would use glue. Not knowing your layout, in some cases the trim wood needs to be removed for access, but your layout may not need the wood pulled out. There has to be a way to get it out for service and replacement.
  • I can assure you that the microwave was placed into the cabinets after they were put into place. Therefore, it should be removed in a reverse order. They rubber feet, as previously posted, were not glued. Worked a putty knife under to break loose.
