The first and clearest install video describing the filler blocks and proper positioning of the templates that I have seen!

Unrivaled clarity with directions. After viewing, I went out, bought a replacement unit and installed it without incident. This presentation made that effort possible and saved me a $150 install fee. Thank you, iScaper1 ! ! !

Thanks. I like that you filmed the video and then captured your instructions afterward. This made it easier to hear and understand.

There is a comment below by Jeannette H., that reads 'Best instruction video ever for installing a new microwave!'. That pretty much sums things up. Concise, instructive, intuitive and perfect in every way. If only the rest of KZfaq would follow this format...Thank you!

No vent to outside in your oven. Thank you for the filler block instructions. I changed the oven brand from GE to Samsung. The locations of these 2 main bolt holes in GE and Samsung are so close together, I end up with bad figure 8 holes (no strength left in the board and may pull thru). Your video shown The filler blocks. It save the day for me. Thank you for the GREAT video and you took time to teach us step-by-step. You are the BEST.

Very well done tutorial. I will be buying a new microwave this week and your video was the first I clicked. I dont feel the need to watch any others, thanks.

Best instruction video ever for installing a new microwave!

Thank you so much for the tutorial. I am a renter. My landlord bought us a new microwave, but didn't have the time to install it. After watching this video I had the confidence to install it with no problem. I even popped a bag of popcorn to celebrate! A++ video!

Thanks for this video! I was able to get my microwave removed and the new one installed. Save me a ton of $$$ in store installation fees.

Just installed a new over the range microwave using your video as a guide. Your video was much more helpful than the installation instructions. Once my husband and I watched your video we knew exactly what to do and were able to properly reinstall a brand new microwave. Thank you so much for making this video!!

What a great tutorial! I'm a single mom about to purchase a new over the range microwave. I'm a pretty confident DIY'er and after watching your tutorial feel it's definitely something my son and I can tackle. You and your soothing voice may have just saved me a $150 installation charge...thank you!!

Thank you so much for making this video! I must've looked at the instructions for over an hour, before giving up. This tutorial made it super easy for me to install the over head microwave! Thanks again!

I'm a single female and I realize I will not be able to do this myself, but it does give me the information that i need to make a decision on who I will need to help with the installation. Thanks for taking the time to record this tutorial!

Thank you. I just installed a Kenmore microwave and watched your video. I followed your steps and it went in very easy. Your are a very good instructor...appreciated the logical way you led me through the procedure...your detailed explanations were extremely clear and helpful.

This video really helped my husband and I replaced our broken microwave. Thank you for making a simple video with good suggestions.

Very well done. Im about to install a new microwave and this video totally covered all the steps for me. Nicely done mate! very professional!

This video - literally - saved my life. And my wife’s life. We tried installing one of these about an hour ago and were frustrated because some of the instructions didn’t make sense and we had an unexpected gap between the microwave and the cabinet. After watching this video, we retraces our steps and fixes our mistakes. It’s 1am and we are tired but so grateful for this helpful video that - literally - saved our skin.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE SIMPLE ELABORATE AND PRACTICAL TUTORIAL . I DON'T NEED AN INSTALLER TO PUT MY NEW MICROWAVE IN PLACE . THANKS AGAIN !

I am getting ready to replace our microwave and this has been very well presented and useful thank you

You have the most calming voice ever.

Great work Shawn!

Great video thank you. This is a common mans explanation straight forward and plain language thanks again

Great job explaining and narrating this DIY video!

Thank you for this video! My old over the range microwave did the same thing and I needed to replace it. Your video made sense to me. I am one happy mom.

Very informative video. I feel like I'm ready to tackle my new microwave installation next week!

Very complete, IScaper! Even tho I have a different brand of microwave, I feel like this is going to be super-helpful in getting the old unit out and the new one installed correctly in a minimum of time. Thanks!

very nice and detailed.. just what I needed to replace my microwave.. thank you!

Very well done! Thanks much for this.

Great job! Clear, concise step by step instructions. My fiancee, was so in the know after watching you and your son change out your old microwave, we had a great time replacing mine. No problem at all. Thanks!

Beautiful instructional job. Thank you. One suggestion: treat yourself to an inexpensive power screwdriver. It's a great addition to any toolbox and one of the most-used tools in mine.

I lost track of this page but I'm very happy to see you're still posting

Very nice video which gives idea to install Microwave Over the range.

Very detailed, nice work sir!

Very detailed. Thank you both.

To give myself a little extra security while working on the microwave from above (and removing the top screws from the old unit), I put my car jack underneath with a length of 1x6 board under the microwave. An extra set of (very strong) hands to hold it securely.

Thankyou so much! I'm doing this project soon, so it's a big help!

I will be helping a friend of mine install a microwave and this video will definitely come in handy. Good job!

Nice job and right to the point !!

Excellent video your attention to detail make this an easy project. Thanks!!

Very good instructional video! Thanks

Thank you for your clear directions.

Informative, clear and concise.

Excellent instructions! Great work.

Awesome video and really helped with my own installation.

Nice video, calmly explained each step. Thanks.

Im glad it's 2020 for my replacement. this was easy peasy

nice idea with the blocks

great video, very helpful. Much better than the actual directions that came with the microwave!!

Thank you for sharing. God bless you!

Very professional...well done.

This is exactly why I stopped using over the range microwaves. Look at all the bullshit he has to go through just to replace it. Great video though man.. you have more patience than I do.

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! I can install my microwave because of your time making this video. Greatly appreciate your share! God Bless!

Thanks. About to do this myself and your video helped me understand what I'll need to do. Appreciate it.

Thanks for your help!

Great video sir. Thanks a bunch.

Nice tut. About to wade into this project now and realizing it would be brilliant if the various makers shared universal brackets and bolt hole positions.

thanks for the reply I think I figured mine out and now good video. Very nice thank you

THANK YOU FOR A GOOD AND DETAILED INSTRUCTION

well done. easy and informative.

Nicely done

Great Video, thanks. Your explanation is very clear.

Thanks! Mine just went after 14 years!

Nice video, very helpful!

Awesome, I just bought tho exact microwave from sear and was a bit confused about the recessed cabinets i have. this vid help a lot. I'm going to tackle it now. Thanks a bunch!!!!!!

Very helpful, thanks for your help!!!

Nice job. Thank you

Great video, thanks!

Thanks for posting this -- very well done! I cannot believe three people gave you a thumbs down, lol! What could they possibly object to? Excellent step-by-step instruction, thanks again.

I wish all the online videos were as good as this one. The timing was just right, the pacing was great and THANK YOU for producing a video with good sound quality, something many producers don't do. I have a different brand and was wondering if the existing hardware for the previous microwave will work?

Thank you, nice work and great instructional video.

Super helpful - thank you so much!!

Great video. You make it look so easy, now come over and install mine....lol

Very informative video. I won't need to use filler blocks (as there is no recess here) however, the advice to have a helper remove/mount the units is definitely important (in this case the unit weighed up to 83 pounds : so tough to balance on one hand 8-) thanks much !

Great video.

Great video...but the way you say "template" killed me every time 😂😂😂

Thank you for sharing

Very Informative. Thank You

Thank you!

Excellent tutorial!

i just bought a stove, dishwasher and that exact microwave at sears. Cool thanks.

One suggestion, try the microwave first to make sure it works. Would be a shame to get it all installed only to find it's defective!

That paper template should go up pretty easy with some double sided tape on the back.

nice, but dont forget to plug it in first before doing all this work, I heard a story where it didn't turn on after it was fully in =), great vid !

I love GE Spacemaker Over The Range Microwave.

Great video! I used double-sided tape to secure the templates to posterboard that we had. You could probably also used cardboard, maybe from the box that the microwave came in...

fine job. Thank you so much.

Thank you!!!

Nice video thanks. One question though. Assuming the previous unit was screwed into wall studs, why did you have to "rediscover" them via your stud finder?
