Thank you, 18 years of marriage and many home projects we have learned how to argue off camera 😜 No really we try to read each other and while we do have arguments we also know we have to get over ourselves and work together.

this video helped me.. i was super stuck as the new micro i was installing was 1/8" taller and the backsplash went up too high!! reusing the old hanger (had to grind the tabs slightly) mounted slightly lower, but on TOP of the backsplash tile was my ticket to victory. thanks again.

Nice video! My husband and I are much old and much weaker than you two and we didn't have the strength to lift this baby up above our shoulder. We ended up using a car scissor jack to hold it in place instead of using our own mussel. We used the jack both in uninstall old one and install the new one (the same as yours), no sweat.

good job. just purchased the same package but w/ gas range and swapped out the fridge for one w/ the water dispenser inside instead of in front

We owned ours for 2 years and the most common breakdown on this microwave is the cable that connects the door to microwave (top left) will be pinched when the door open and closes. There's a video on KZread that explains how to fix it but he does not show you how to.

Thanks for sharing this. Was looking for a little more info/voice over regarding how you secured the microwave in the bracket.

@TopHomeowner

3 жыл бұрын

There are tabs on the metal bracket that match up with slots on the back of the microwave. You just need to set the back of the microwave slightly higher than the tabs (about a half-inch) then lower it down. It sounds more complicated than it is! The bracket is typically attached to the microwave for shipping, so it's easy to see how it lines up when you remove it from the back of the microwave. Hope this helps!

Thank you for posting this! I really enjoyed the video and found it helpful. If I could make one suggestion it would be how to rotate the motor for re-circulation and so forth. Thanks!!!

Does the interior have a light? Or, does it light up when in use?

Good luck! If it works like my GE Profile, it will be shorting out in a few years.

Top right and left tile spacers could've been removed and replaced with wood, easier than drilling through tile. And for me to much gap between bottom of cabinet and top of MW. Now don't get upset just my opinion. Good job👍

It is a slick design and I don't see a big difference in this vs the traditional. Maybe if you lived in a tight kitchen it could cause problems but that would be a big maybe. It is really easy to clean with fewer crevasses, which is a big deal to me with 3 kids :)

Yes you can. I don't remember if there is a separate template for that but I can't imagine they wouldn't include it.

What can make cold air come out the sides of the microwave? Would it be the guy didn't properly line up or hook up the vent that goes up into the attic? It's so cold now that it is winter and my kitchen isn't warm. I even had more insulation put in and it is still cold around it and inside when I open the door.

Based on what you described I'd say that's very possible. Without the spacers, the microwave could pull up into the bottom cavity of the cabinet.

@daddylogan

2 жыл бұрын

If you had a wall like the guy who made the video, then yes. Why? Because his lower part of the mounting bracket sat on the backsplash which pushes it out from the drywall. So he put spacers up in the upper left hand corner and upper right hand corner to match the thickness of the tile so the mounting bracket would be flush all around. It also probably means he had to adjust the upper template hole drilling forward by the same thickness as the spacers. He can chime in on that if he wants. Otherwise it will look like your microwave is leaning back in at the top and pushed out at the bottom.

Your boys are adorable!

Here is my experience so far with this MW. We purchased it about 6 month ago as were installing the wall duct for rear venting in a new kitchen wall. We live in a cold climate so opted to vent horizontally to prevent heat loss and the dreaded vent condensation pooling in the microwave and destroying it in 6 months routine that you read about all over the net. To anyone wanting a well-insulated rear duct with a snug airtight connection to the MW, you will have to put some serious thought into it as appliance manufacturers would rather spend development $ on fairly useless but glitzy features like blue tooth connectivity rather than designing a system that allows for precise ducting. This is not unique to GE or this unit in my experience. Anyway, I removed the mounting bracket from the unit 6 months ago to locate my ducting. While the instructions do not say to replace the two screws holding it there for shipping, the look like permanent screws and match the other permanent screws holding the side and top housing in place, so I replaced them. It would be nice if the instructions clearly said to discard these screws because it took some troubleshooting to realize that the unit cannot be installed on the bracket with the screws in place. I probably would have caught this if I had been installing the same day I removed the bracket from the unit, so this problem is probably pretty rare. But the most aggravating thing was that the paper template's location for the toggle bolt holes was a half inch off of their actual location on the bracket. It turns out that a 1/2" is right in the sweet spot to make drilling a second set of 5/8 holes in your sheetrock extra-aggravating as the holes overlap.
