How to Install a Microwave // Over The Range

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Quick break from woodworking this week to show you how I installed a new microwave in our kitchen. When the nice gentleman at Lowes told me it would be $120 to have it installed I decided to do it myself. It was easier than I expected and the install went perfectly. This over the range model is convertible to connect to a duct that goes out of the house but we went with the recirculating option. I've linked below to the exact model but check your local big box stores as well. I hop this video is helpful!

    You did it! $120 saved! And probably countless hours dealing with a contractor too. Keep up the good work!

    Fantastic video! Does the bracket really need to be replaced? I’m getting the exact same brand as my old one - just a newer model. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that the bracket is the same.

    Thanks I hope it helped! I think if the brackets are the same you definitely wouldn’t need to replace it. Try getting the new one out of the box and compare before taking the old one off. Good luck!

    @@RLLWoodworks Done! It took 10 minutes. Thankfully it was the exact same bracket. I even used the same screws. There were no paper templates so it would have been much more complicated to drill new holes etc. You saved me $130! Thanks again. 🤗

    Can I use the same holes from my last microwave??? or do they have to be the one the paper says?

    I had to drill a couple new ones even though I got the same model just newer. But as long as your bracket is in the studs, I think you’ll be fine.

    I used a different brand and I just installed but I noticed that the top bolts thread in but then just spin. Is this normal. I seems solid but that puzzles me .

    That’s strange mine definitely pulled right like you would expect but if it’s sturdy it must be okay. Thanks for watching!

    Did you have to do anything with the fan vent?

    There are two options. The one I chose blows the filtered air back up into the kitchen out of two vents on the top of the microwave. Other option is to connect it to an exhaust that goes out of the house if you have one.

    I had to change the vent to be the right orientation before installing it. The instructions help walk through that part.
