TWO big-ass thumbs up! I was hired yesterday to mount a TV and microwave. Although I’ve mounted tons of TVs, I’ve never done a microwave before in my life. After watching this incredibly descriptive video, I not only sounded like I’d done this before, but the job came out perfectly! Thank you so much!!!

Great video as always ! The only one tip from my MW installation experience with all that kitchen cabinets quality that could be a good idea to use large diameter washers for those upper bolts or sometimes plates if the upper shelf had a bunch of holes from previous installations . After few years of usage the smoke and steam from MW vent makes top shelf "wood " softer and bolts start sinking thru the wood in cheap cabinets (seen it many times in last 20 years installing MWs)

This is the video that saved me a year or two ago. My wife just bought a new house a month before we met, when we weren’t super serious she bought a new microwave/range to exhaust through the roof and she hired “professionals” to install it. Two years later the microwave/exhaust gave out and completely quit working. I found a new unit on Kijiji for $50 CAD that worked perfectly and this video helped me figure out how to take the old one out/down and put the “new” one up. We now bought a new house which doesn’t have any over the range exhaust and my wife misses the microwave/over the range exhaust and this video helped me graciously to understand how to start one from scratch, thanks!!

@daveaddison7011 3 жыл бұрын

Super helpful video, Shannon. Thanks so much. The challenging part for me was working with walls that were not square which was going to effect the ability for the door to fully open. I figured out a slightly off-centre position for the back plate on the wall, drilled an oversized hole for the power cord then "dry" mounted the microwave. My son held it in place and by tipping it down a bit, I could see the line where the two top screws had to be. We then removed the microwave, put up the top template and lined up the screw holes we marked with the template which gave us the depth. We drilled the top holes and they lined up perfectly. As desired, the microwave was positioned a bit off centre so the door could swing fully open without hitting the adjoining wall.

Because of showing how the fan motor could be rotated, I was able to vent it to the front of the microwave with no issues...I too, had fun finding the mounting screws! They were covered up with a foam gasket!

I had just finished the install of my new microwave after watching this and it went so smooth without any cursing, lol. I also ran into the same issue where the hanging bracket would be halfway on the backsplash tile. I had to use a piece of 3/8" plywood to "build it out" as you say. Also, great tip on having to move the upper cabinet template out to compensate for the 3/8" being built out. That little tid bit of info right there probably saved me from having to make swiss cheese out of the cabinet and most likely cursing out loud. Thanks Shannon!

@nikolasc1594 5 жыл бұрын

It's electrical code for microwave to have a dedicated circuit, the plug he was using would be a dedicated plug so effectively the microwave is on a dedicated circuit, which is how we typically wire new houses. FYI, dedicated circuits in your house: fridge, microwave, dishwasher, kitchenette, stove, dryer, washer, furnace, water heater, sump pump, outside plugs (GFI's). Also, 1 circuit per two 20A kitchen countertop plugs. You should probably listen to contractors over assuming things from youtube clips.

@TheNYgolfer 6 жыл бұрын

It's amazing that just about every manufacturer has the top mount screw holes in a different location. Even if you replace an old microwave with a new one from the same manufacturer, there is no guarantee the holes match. I can understand why one manufacturer doesn't want to use the same locations as a competitor uses ( gives you incentive to go with the same manufacturer when replacing the microwave in the future ) but can't for the life of me understand why one manufacturer would change the hole locations on their own product . That goes for the wall mount bracket too. They keep changing that around which makes even less sense, AND.....just to mess with you a little more, they keep changing the height of the microwaves so even if they use the same wall mount bracket, you have to relocate it, AND... if the new microwave is less in height and your tiles went flush against the old microwave, you now have a gap under the new microwave. Keeps installers busy though

Outstanding video. I really appreciate how you show the difficult challenges that someone might run into - like the framing where you want the vent, and the tile under half of the bracket. I wish I had watched this before I paid a "pro" to do it. He didn't turn the blower to the back (for wall venting) and he didn't check the existing cutout in the wall to be sure it was big enough (it wasn't). After watching this video, I fixed everything myself. Thank you for making this!
