Microwave removal

I got a service man into the MH to repair mine

One method is that it's attached to the back plate only. Screws along the back bottom edge which is U shaped. Then a long flexible bolt which may be under some trim on each front lower corner that angles up to the top of the back plate.

There may be screws on the sides or top for some installations.

Use boards underneath so that it can't fall.

Move to Tech Issues forum from DIY.

Replace it.

Usually not worth repairing. Here is the install which shows the 2 top mount bolts in the overhead cabinet. IF you have NO space above the Microwave for those bolts then the OEM installed aftermarket mount screws thru the upper area behind that black grill. You remove that plastic grill to access those screws. Doug (page 13)

Thanks for all the good advice.....I'll be working on taking it out tomorrow.
You folks on this forum have always been very helpful!

You can use a lifting jack under it to keep it under control lowering it and then raising it back up to bolt it in.

Usually it would not be worth repairing BUT the Amazon price to replace it is more than $500 plus shipping!

We had one go bad. I just went to Walmart and bought one that would fit the opening and installed. Used some of the mounting hardware from the original.

Did the unit just quit working all at once, totally dead, or did it just stop cooking but the control panel still light's up? If it went totally dead all at once it's probably the fuse behind the control panel. You can buy another fuse for a few bucks at an electrical supply house and save yourself a bunch of money, that's what I did when ours died suddenly.
