@@TheAppliancePlug How do you set the clock on that model? The instruction sheet explains it by using Control Setup and Clock but there's no icon on the microwave for either...

[@TheAppliancePlug]

@@tonyorob do you see any options to the left or right of the zero to go into a settings menu?

[@Need2Build]

2 years later and still the man. The most thorough install and explanation on YT on OTR microwaves. Thank you King Mike.

[@TheAppliancePlug]

No, thank you! Appreciate the support and the subscription.

[@johnthetrickster1957]

I was worried about doing this myself. But after seeing your video of the install. I have complete confidence in doing this. Probably the best how to video I have ever watched. Thank you sir. Very much appreciated.

[@TheAppliancePlug]

You are very welcomed John! Thanks for tuning in and hope you have a great holiday season!

[@chunt6352]

Felt like an idiot for a whole night. I couldn’t find the mounting bracket until I watched this video.. lol thanks

[@TheAppliancePlug]

lol Glad we can help. Thanks for watching!

[@harlhequim]

Not only the video tutorial is done straightforward an easy to understand but your tone of voice and wording of the explanation also helps the viewer to get a clear idea of the whole process. keep it up

[@TheAppliancePlug]

Wow, thank you!

[@patriciaterranova1074]

I am so happy i can scream!!! I hung my tenants Samsung over the stove microwave based on your instruction! There were no glitches. This was my third microwave in 25 years that went into that apartment. Originally, in 1997 I only offered tenants wallpaper for backspace then the next time I had a microwave replaced I added glass/ceramic tiles. So when the 2nd microwave failed I had a dilemma to place a larger/taller microwave into that space. So, it was necessary to fill the gap and make the support flush, on the same plane. I had to add two 1/4 plywood (1/2 inch finished) pieces to fill the gap from area that didn’t have backsplash. Worked like a charm. I suggest that anyone can do the install. It took a total of three hours from start to finish to remove the old microwaves, adjust the fans and add charcoal filter, add the two pieces of plywood drill holes, screw support plate and plug it in. I suggest wearing gloves with rubber palms to avoid dropping the microwave, use a torpedo level with stud finder, pencil and ruler to accurately be in line with the stud. I use red lipstick smudged on the drill bit to mark through the pattern. You So Much❤

[@TheAppliancePlug]

This is so amazing Patricia! I love getting comments like this. I am so happy you were able to do it by yourself without any problems! Hope everything has been smooth since you installed it!

[@isaacsellers700able]

Perfect tutorial. I just bought a new Samsung microwave (different model) but same size that was replacing a 7 year old Samsung as well and you didn’t miss a step and I got my new microwave installed in less than 30 minutes since I used the old bracket and screws that I had in place before.

[@TheAppliancePlug]

Awesome! Thanks for sharing!

[@TheAppliancePlug]

Glad I could help!

[@gilguzman8359]

The instructions on how to reposition the blower assembly threw me off my game. I’m so glad I found your video. It saved me from installing them wrong. 👍🏼 The reason they suggest boring a 1/2” hole for the anchor bolts that supports the microwave is it provides you with “slop” space so you can easily line-up the bolts to screw them on and not strip-out the bolts. Nice feature! It took me about 20-minutes to remove my old, broken microwave and 45-minutes to install the new one. Roughly 1-1/2 hours, including clean-up. Love my new Samsung microwave!

[@snakefield34]

Thank you. Your instructions were much easier to follow that those that came in the box. Everything went smooth and seamless.

[@TheAppliancePlug]

Great to hear! Thank you!

[@robertkrall7421]

Your video made my installation so much easier! Great job and THANK YOU!!!

Aw man! Thank you so much! That is a great model microwave! Hope you enjoy it!

[@Specialkrs]

Hey this install was to the "T" as if you were doing it for me, every step was exactly as you described. Thanks for the awesome DIY video, and saving me an install fee! Keep up the great work...well done!

You don't talk down, you give the whole story without droning on and on. Great video. My helper (16) helped with the muscle and was shocked at my drill bit changing skills 🙂

[@BROSKIErblx]

Very good video. Just about to install this exact model and what a huge help this is. I really like the tips about what to do and not to do such as avoiding a split to the wood. Very helpful. Thanks for this.

[@guesswhaturit2197]

Thanks for this Video.. The fans I screwed up until i saw yours and then paper placement made this such a quick and easy job.

[@TheAppliancePlug]

Glad to help. Thanks for watching! 🙏

[@khkartc]

Thanks for this video. My wife opened the box for our new microwave a couple of weeks before we installed it and managed to lose the installation guide _and_ the templates. From this video I learned how to turn the exhaust fans for recirculation (and to put the plate on top of the oven), how to install the charcoal filter, and that, since our old microwave was also a Samsung, the mounting bracket and screw holes were likely to be in the same places. It worked out fine, and we didn’t need the templates. (Actually, our wall behind the mounting bracket had two studs, so we didn’t even need a toggle bolt.) Anyway, I just wanted to say thanks and to ask how we ever got along without KZbin!

[@TheAppliancePlug]

Thank you so much for the kind comment! I can definitely tell by your comment you watched this video in great detail! I am glad you were able to install your over-the-range microwave. Thanks again for watching our video and visiting our channel.

Thank u sir! I took down my old Samsung and hung the new one effortlessly. I cheated and used the same bracket, but your video gave me the confidence to do it!!

Best install video I followed your advice and it came out amazing. Thank you!

[@TheAppliancePlug]

Great to hear!

[@winstonbarnard4201]

Replacing an old amsung with a similar new one, great refresher course. I hopefully will be able to use the same bracket. I had forgotten about the top screws. Thank You for a great video.

[@patriciaterranova1074]

This was excellent hand very thorough. I appreciate your attention to detail which is so helpful. I was very concerned about hanging the microwave with a tile backsplash. Apparently that wasn’t a problem in your case as you didn’t mention it. I liked your tips at our drilling the cabinet base from the inside to avoid splitting the wood. Your other recommendations about flipping the vent. Samsung requires that you undue their screws in the mounting plate and the upper vents to redirect the exhaust in the kitchen rather than outside, which was a surprise- I guess that way the parts aren’t lost! Thanks very much.

[@TheAppliancePlug]

Thank you so much Patricia, I saw you were able to install it without problems from your other comment!

[@jstoutimore]

Your video is much better than Samsung's own video!

[@TheAppliancePlug]

Yes, the template is used as a guide to place the wall bracket at the proper height.

My GE microwave from 2005 finally crapped out. At first kzbin.infoUgkxO_Bc204MGjxDl87cOKcdgaRhzSqGmv_g I was unsure because I was looking for something with the exact same features. Found it with this one. Interior space cavity was large, but the outside was smaller than my old one. I love the one-button push for 1-6 minutes, and the 30 second add or 30 second start. and MOST IMPORTANTLY, I love how you can adjust the power level during cooking. The reviews said it could not be done, but this marked all the other boxes. and happy to say, it does. I can hit 1 minute start, and change the power level from 10 to 5, 30 seconds in, without interruption. my favorite feature!

[@michelprovencher5559]

Thank you very much, your video helped us a lot in the installation of our new Samsung microwave oven, Really appreciated !!

Thank you for the video. Question. The blower in the back. What if the hole is in the back instead of up high. Can you flip the blower over? Thank you

[@TheAppliancePlug]

Yes, blower can be flipped to vent through the back. There's pre cut attachments that need to be removed.

[@PepsiGuyGaming]

Do u take out the cardboard pice inside that u see at the end

[@TheAppliancePlug]

If you're referring to the '"cardboard" on the inside wall of the microwave, no you do not remove that. It's not packaging. The "cardboard" has a special coating and prevents short circuits.
