I'm not sure whether to commend you guys for working together as a team without arguing, or being able to keep the kids out of the kitchen the whole time while you all were working.

[@stephenstiles7517]

you guys worked together real well.

[@TopHomeowner]

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.

[@harryhardwareman]

Going to attempt this weekend! Thanks for the video!

[@Jane-oq1kp]

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.

[@Printedwholeinternet]

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.

[@TopHomeowner]

Glad it helped!

I just purchased the same model!! Thank you for posting. The video was very helpful!!

[@benchoi7225]

Great video. One step I didn't catch was how you got the new mounting bracket on the wall to then pencil out the new holes. It jumps to where you are removing the bracket from the wall which was attached to one center screw. Thanks!

Thank you. I was able to get it down all by myself!

[@PagetLynnLund]

What about the fan vent? How is that installed to the wall or outside?

[@marthakennelly7788]

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

[@TopHomeowner]

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!

No ventilation! How’s that working out ?

Thank you!

[@alexbenitez4356]

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

[@divinetiming8422]

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.

[@TopHomeowner]

There should be a flap to stop air coming back into the house either inline or at the end. If not, you should be able to install something like this: www.amazon.com/Draft-Blocker-Backdraft-Preventer-Deflector/dp/B0822VQMHM

[@LeahMCuffe]

Mine is not a over the range model. It made a few loud noise and looked like a lightning bolt struck inside of it. So far it looks like a paper thing caught a couple burn marks on it?

[@TopHomeowner]

Sorry to hear.

[@KathrynMcGeehan-q4p]

Can you vent fan to an outside duct? Do you drill a separate hole for that? Does the template show you where to do that?

[@TopHomeowner]

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.

[@onthepath786]

I didn't see you connect the vent fan to any exhaust pipe. Where does the air flow?

[@TopHomeowner]

In my case I don't have an outside vent. You have multiple options when installing it though and it can be used with or without a vent by changing the fan position before you mount it.

[@gurpreetgrewal8289]

Can you make a video on service this and also my microwave keep blowing the power outlet after having it for 3 years, I have already replaced outlet twice any idea what that might be ?

[@TopHomeowner]

My best guess is that there's an issue inside the microwave (like a short) thats causing your problem

[@esored1989]

I have this exact model and had the same issue, ended up just buying the same model to replace it with

[@FlyingFoxOne]

Just installed and the microwave is tilted up..about 1 inch difference between top and bottom. Was it installed wrong?? Do I need those spacers on top?

[@TopHomeowner]

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]

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.

[@kiliarowe9338]

Can you come do mine, because my husband and I don’t work well together with projects😂

[@Honestandtruth007]

Sounds like me and my wife too 😌😌 that is not right

[@Diggletsdad]

Did you have to reposition the blower motor to make it recirculating?

[@TopHomeowner]

Yes, there were a couple of screws I had to remove in order to rotate the motor. It was a pretty simple process, but it was a little tight. I tried to capture it on video but the recording didn't turn out. I hope this helps!

[@Diggletsdad]

@@TopHomeowner just installed mine. That is my only complaint so far. Almost every other microwave comes from the factory set for recirculating, not this one

I would like to know the answer to this question too

[@itsjustmepenvargarmen3555]

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 KZbin that explains how to fix it but he does not show you how to.

[@w124smoker]

My wife loves the style of this microwave and wanted to see if you like it or if you could give a quick review?

[@tim3064]

I just finished my install on the same MW and I am not sure how the blower fan covers should be located ? I can see the squirrel cage looking from the top down is this correct or not. Also do both the top and back cover have to be covering the squirrel cage fans??

I took a couple of pictures when I installed mine and had to change the blower fan to recirculate. First link is cover off and the second link is cover on.

@@TopHomeowner does this MW need to vented out or do you have it venting into the cabinet space?

@@jasonastacio4187 You can either vent it to the outside or blow it out of the top underneath the cabinet doors. You just have to rotate the blower fan before you install it. It doesn't vent into the cabinet space at all. Hope this helps!

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👍

Thanks for the feedback, and for watching!

[@nychillboy8724]

Great video! I love the look, and been thinking about getting this microwave. It's been 3 months.... how are you's feeling about it? What do you think of the longer door, compared to your traditional one? Would you recommend it, or stick with the traditional design?

[@TopHomeowner]

Thank you, We are actually in the process of putting together a review video! The dishwasher review comes out this Friday and the Microwave will be in 2 weeks...That being said we really like it. 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 :)

[@andydouglass1374]

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.

[@TopHomeowner]

Thanks for sharing your experience. Thankfully ours is still going strong but we don't have it vented outside either.
