How to install an over-the-range microwave & electrical outlet

[@koko20245]

You made that look so easy! I’m going to try and install mine in the morning!

In my area this isnt code because we are required to have a dedicated 20am breaker......with that said, I'm planning to be here until I die. Therefore, the hell with code, lol. I think i will be following your lead, lol.

@@mj233391 I can’t say I disagree! As long as it’s not dangerous who cares!? I’m Not letting my city tell me what I can and cannot do on my own property. I did find out later from an electrician that I shouldn’t have used a GFCI plug because the draw from the microwave may trip it but so far it’s been fine. Thanks for watching!

@@FireFightHandymanServicesHey man, what type of outlet did you use?

[@LexRilla]

Great video! I’m currently doing this too. Did you really use tape to patch up the wall? I have the same issue with how they tore into my drywall. lol

[@FireFightHandymanServices]

@@LexRilla thank you! I filled in the holes and taped over them. I wouldn’t do that for a customer but this is my house so I did what was fast and used what I had on hand. Everything is still sticking fine even after all this time.

You missed the bottom mounting bracket

@@JK-re4fe there was no bottom mounting bracket.
