Microwave

[Ziphead2]

I need to replace my microwave built above the stove. It has trim around it built in the overhang. Do I need a special one or will a table top work? Any ideas, thanks

When mine went south, I wanted to replace it with a convection, but where I was at I couldn't find one to fit the opening, Just got a regular one at Target. I got four of the rubber feet that fit over chair legs and cut them short.I then ran a short screw through the center of into the surface it sits on, each spaced so the legs of the micro fit over them. Works well and I put back the plastic trim so it looks like it belongs.:D

Just replaced ours found that only the .9 cubic footer wound fit the trim.
Had to drill four pilot holes in new unit for screws to attach the trim then it slid right in the cabinet .
Good Luck, Mike

in our new fifth wheel, we wanted a convection microwave instead of the regular one. we bought one the same size that was for home use and it works just fine. replace yours with a built in model imo is the way to go.
