DIY Samsung Slim 1.1 cu Microwave over Range

[@jordandesilets]

No man has ever put so much faith in a coffee maker.

[@theskeetezone3923]

Lmao... Sure did the job.

[@TD5FooFooNinja]

If it works it works. Just ordered the same microwave and have the same coffee maker, so looks like I know who will help me install it

[@DavidAshley-rz5ph]

Thanks for posting this. There are a ton of videos for Samsung over the range microwaves, but only a few that detail the install. Yours is the most informative!

[@theskeetezone3923]

Glad it was helpful!

[@JoeWebb-cd8de]

Bro thanks for this one. This is by far the Best tutorial video out. Real man shit, and got your young one to help and be there to see Dad be Superman, no feeling like they provide. Happy Father's Day. Mine is going up now (hopefully haha). The coffee pot as support was the most relatable part for me 😂.

[@theskeetezone3923]

Yeah, Thanks. Glad the video helped. My bad for responding back 2wks later. How was the install? hope you had a good Father's Day.

[@georgehill3087]

Thanks for the video. Just bought this microwave on Black Friday and wanted to look for an installation video instead of just reading the manual.

[@MichaelBelkofer]

Just got the same microwave installed today with the help from your video. The only suggestion I would make is that Samsung include a template made from a stiff type poster board. It was especially hard to use their folded paper template on the bottom of the cabinet surface , but all is good it looks great and works well. The carbide tipped masonry bits Made Easy work of having to drill holes through the wall tile

[@seaandearth]

wow how cool you managed to put it on by yourself I needed my husband to help me it was too heavy for me, congratulations.

[@theskeetezone3923]

Lol. Yeah, it's wasn't bad. Till I needed that coffeemaker. But I managed, Thanks.

[@ChuckZeppelin]

Thanks for the video! I would like to offer a tip. Plug the microwave in and test it before mounting. Nothing worse than going thru the work just to take it back down and return it to the store.

[@theskeetezone3923]

No problem, but your right. I went on the assumption that the outlet was working, I didn't show it in the video but the over the range vent I removed was hard wired. Sharing, which seems to be from the outlet above. So I'd used electrical tape and push to wire behind the wall.

[@Baccigalu67]

Nice! Mine is coming in tomorrow and this was just the video I was looking for to get a heads up on the install. Great job, thanks!

[@theskeetezone3923]

Glad I could help

[@davidc8717]

Funny, guy bought the same Microwave as me and has the same knife. I got this not because it's thin, but at 550 cfm its the highest suckage microwave without getting into a range hood. My wife cooks salted fish and chilis all the time which will choke out half the house. Taste good when eating, I mean when breathing it in the air. So this is sure to be a winner in our household once I install it. Thanks for the vid!!

[@Kittencaboodle16]

Thanks for sharing! The instructions that came with the microwave we’re not clear on venting directions. I was able to watch your video and learn all I needed to do was change out the plates for the air vent in the front.

[@theskeetezone3923]

No problem. Glad I was a help.

[@urmastertech]

This video helped so much!. I ended up installing this same microwave myself. It was kind of a pain to figure out the top mounting screws, mainly because I didn't have the template. But overall it wasn't too hard. Luckily I had two studs I could attach the bracket to. I did add the toggle bolt in the middle but it probably wasn't needed. The first toggle I used a drill on and of course it ended up falling down the wall, so luckily I had a spare.

[@theskeetezone3923]

Glad you pulled it off... It's a good unit, so far no issues. If you have a stove by Samsung and it's Wi-Fi, the both communicate with each other. When I turn on the burner the vent cuts on automatically. 😉

[@urmastertech]

@@theskeetezone3923 haha nice. Actually ours we had so many issues at least with the used one that we bought initially. Samsung techs have been out 3 times and hopefully are going to bring it back tomorrow. But we did order a new one too since there was a sale and that one will be ready next Friday. So hopefully Samsung techs fix the one otherwise it's going back to best buy outlet haha

[@adamsons2890]

Good video. Thanks

[@dempseydickson1034]

Killer job. Looks great

[@theskeetezone3923]

Thanks.

[@lhberry01]

Good Job! Thanks just bought a Samsung and was wondering how the outside vent would work!

[@theskeetezone3923]

The Outside vent? While Not sure , of the question. But once the fans are on, exhausting out the back with a metal flip opening up from outside the house... on the unit itself don't really have to doing anything like (rotating the blower on some other units).

[@Timmassage]

Nice job… I agree though that burying that live wire could cause a house fire over time or electrical shock. Maybe find the wire coming into the basement and disconnect it down line or at the breaker. My old house burned down do to buried wiring. I appreciate your video.

[@theskeetezone3923]

Huh. I'll definitely look into removing wire.

[@miguelbenavides3507]

thanks for the video now I can install mine 👍👍

[@theskeetezone3923]

Thanks. Glad it helped.

[@SomethingBrewing1]

Nice work Doing mine tomorrow

[@theskeetezone3923]

Nice, How did you make out?

[@deborahskeete3504]

Beautiful work 💪

[@theskeetezone3923]

Thanks.

[@tripleogkev8857]

I tuned in to see how to install the filters??? Seems you finished without them?

[@theskeetezone3923]

Oh the filters are easy to install. Just pop in underneath. Sorry miss that part too film.

[@MarkLeeds]

@@theskeetezone3923 The manual has no diagrams of how they go in and the description is not good. No one, as far as I can find, shows how to put them in. Does the metallic one go in first, and then the plastic one covers the metal one, on each side? That's the only way I can figure out how to do it. Thank you.

[@theskeetezone3923]

@@MarkLeeds I'm sorry I'm try to understand... Where are you stuck at?

[@MarkLeeds]

@@theskeetezone3923 I put the filters in the only way that made sense to me, but I'm not sure if I did them correctly. I made a video of me taking them out and putting them back again: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gmrZpJ5-dpefZpI

[@Mrmeeseeks18]

Very good video!! Thank you!!! you are the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ATT: SAMSUNG Support

[@theskeetezone3923]

No, Problem. Glad it helped.

[@bryanfykes8670]

Warning! Please read before getting this microwave! I bought this microwave based on this video. I literally had the same range hood that was removed, so the installation was exqctly as shown. With one difference... i have a wall to the left of my range. The oven fit perfectly- but the door would not open! The oven is 30 inches wide. But 32 inches wide when open. Had to take it all down and return it.

[@theskeetezone3923]

Wow, how deep we're you're cabinets, to meet the opening of the microwave door? I have the generic cabinets you'll pick up at your Lowe's or home depot. You said you brought the MW based off the video, bro you could have asked a couple of questions! To be honest with you, when we first gotten the unit we didn't measure at all the existing opening. We just happened to be in home depot! Wife seen it along with the stove and made the move to but them. On the hope it all fits.

[@donaldsayvong7896]

Thanks for the video!

[@DZMech]

Hey great video I just bought the same microwave I lost the instructions I was wondering how it wasn’t going to pull the cabinets down lol it’s heavy so… thank you 🙏

[@theskeetezone3923]

Yeah thank you, glad it helped.

[@DavidAshley-rz5ph]

Injustice bought this and was going to wait for my son to help me, but I have a coffee maker too, so I can handle this install solo.

[@doingitmyway8762]

Beautiful work. Where did you learn to do those things

[@theskeetezone3923]

Thanks, just by looking at the project and going for it.

[@kurtwm2010]

I am ready to hang the same model. I gave up today because I could not lift this large and awkward thing high enough. What brand coffee maker is that?

[@theskeetezone3923]

Lol. Thats coffee maker really came through for me.

[@StephanyFernandez-t2v]

Do you have a video of you placing the filters ?

[@theskeetezone3923]

No sorry. BUT! Filters are placed under the unit.

[@davedor3196]

Even after venting outside. When microwaving do you still get venting from the top front (into your kitchen) from the one vent where it isn’t covered with the inserts?

[@theskeetezone3923]

Yeah, microwaving air is venting from the top I've notched. I did placed the cover plates to reduce hot air from heating up the cabinet knobs.

[@Hynes98Caper]

How deep is the cabinet above that it's mounted to? Standard 12inches? Thanks for the video!

[@theskeetezone3923]

yes, the cabinet is a standard.

[@tiffanycayenne3334]

Good video!

[@theskeetezone3923]

Thanks!

[@johnbyrley3925]

I have a different type of bracket for some reason. The holds didn't quite line up to the template, so had to improvise.

[@theskeetezone3923]

That's strange... Sounds like you we're able to mount. Glad.

[@johnbyrley3925]

I think they must have changed the bracket design but forgot to change the template lol but yes it worked and still hanging on the wall

[@Realbmoore]

question, how or whatr drill bit did you use to get through the tile. My same microwave is arriving on the 9th and i want a flawless installation myself.

[@theskeetezone3923]

Hey, Sorry I didn't Catch the question on time. hope You were able to install in yourself. So I was able to just use a bit diamond head bit, according to the Template provided .

[@josed4299]

Nice work one question I just installed one and getting alot of vibrations when using the exhaust fan are you having any similar issues thanks

[@theskeetezone3923]

Thanks, I'm not having issues with vibrations when using the exhaust... I'm thinking on doing a little review on the unit. But since I installed it no issues.

[@josed4299]

@@theskeetezone3923 thanks I will have to check mine

[@robertoinvests]

Did you put the top template inside the cabinet? I didn’t see that part.

[@theskeetezone3923]

You can put the tamplate outside of the cabinet underneath. But yes. Sorry, place it underneath below where the unit will be placed.

[@theskeetezone3923]

Make sure. It's aligned, then use a drill bit {tip} to make a hole mark indent through the tamplate.

[@thehowtofamily172]

Thankyou brother

[@theskeetezone3923]

No problem.

[@Rudejaxable]

How many inches does it stick out from cabinet? Thank you 🙂

[@theskeetezone3923]

okay, for me.. 6.5in out.

[@ericalopez6991]

how to make it spin

[@nychyk]

How do you set the date. Thank you

[@theskeetezone3923]

Samsung devices. Or Samsung smart things app, top corner you'll see three dots, then settings there you'll be able to set time and day light savings.

[@ad_pico5621]

Hey brutha what color light is at the bottom of the microwave is it yellow-ish or more of a 5000k pure white??

[@theskeetezone3923]

The light is a day light. My personal favorite. A daylight led.

[@alexypz1269]

Hey boss, do this microwave come with a recirculating system that you can change to either go outside the house or re circulate by itself? I removed the silver plate on top and nothing is there, I don’t have an vent that goes outside but I’m concern to hook up the microwave like that because if its missing the system then its a fire hazard but if the microwave is not suppose to have it than we are good. lmk boss

[@theskeetezone3923]

Hey, since you do not have a outside exhaust exiting the house. The top plates(2) towards the front on the top with the holes would have to stay on with yours. (air right), and (air left) Mine, I had to removed, Since I have a exhaust leading out the house. you wouldn't need to use that exhaust adapter. meaning do NOT Cut out that back plate. The Microwave has a 3 type option of ventilation. Yours would be Recirculating ( non- vented ductless) hope this helps ya.

[@Dentalpros09]

Do you need to connect a vent on top?

[@theskeetezone3923]

No. You don't. What's your layout? If you don't have a top vent leading outside. Or the back, there's open vent hole plates on the front top of the unit. Expelling air that way.

[@Ohkay_Kyle]

I bought this same one, pro tip, pay the $200 to have someone install it. It was an absolute bitch to put in.

[@theskeetezone3923]

Lol. Did you try to install?

[@Ohkay_Kyle]

I did but it was a pain.

[@moniquemcgee7852]

What did you figure out. We are installing but can’t seem to make it straight to align with cabinet top. It’s level but leans

[@theskeetezone3923]

The Template, for the back wall I used, making out the holes needed for the metal strip bracket. while mount the bracket I used a level. to insure the straightness of it. As for the top, under the cabinet I eye balled it marking the template with a nail where the holes on each side will be. I didn't get it on point had to make the hole a bit bigger to catch the hole on top to get the screw in the top of the body.

[@KelvinStrand]

How to set time

[@theskeetezone3923]

Use your phone in the smart things app. You'll also be able to get the latest updates to.

[@rainbowtide22]

You buried a live electrical wire bro. Thats not the way to do it and is a fire hazard!! NEVER bury a wire or a junction box.

[@theskeetezone3923]

The electrical wire that was running to the vent. I had used electrical caps to cover the ends, along with electrical tape to cover the wire individually while keeping them together with the tape... Sure I could have completely removed the wire, but I thought maybe the next home owner can see this and may come in use... BUT!!!! thanks for your concern I'll keep this in mind, for sure, especially when it's time to do a kitchen make over, wife have been nagging me.

[@happycustomer5934]

I would have loved to watch all the video, but that back ground beat.... 😢
