Thanks so much.... installing the same unit tomorrow for my ultimate customer ... yes ... my beloved. Really appreciate your skill, craftsmanship, and empathy for those of us (even us beyond the horizon seniors) who continue to learn, goof up, learn more, and try our best to please our families. Very well-done Sir!! God Bless. 42Jack.
Great video, I am electrician and have no clue how to install this microwave, except the power outlet because that is my only expertise. My home microwave burnt almost one year ago and I was reluctant to install. this video really boosted me to install the Microwave to make my wife happy. Thank you my friend
Thank you. I wish the previous owners of my house had watched this and not left the Bracket on the shelf above the mircowave. But we are good and secure now.
Great video. I had to replace an old microwave I installed 11 years ago this weekend. Watching the video was a great reminder of how to get it done right the first time. Worked like a charm. Thanks.
After watching 3 videos this one prepared me the most. Although I am a "woman", and I do a lot of things alone too. I need my back to do all of the things I do alone around my house. Thankful for your beating a dead horse.
I bought the same model of microwave you just installed. Best buy was going to charge me $140 to install the microwave, the microwave itself what is $179 + tax. I believe my brother andI can install the microwave with your instruction thanks very much!
I did not have any idea how to replace our over the range microwave. I watched a couple of videos but yours was the best. I now think I can do this myself (with my wife's assistance) saving me the $100 install fee the appliance store wanted. Thanks so much!
It went pretty good. We got a good condition used microwave (new to us anyways) so the price was right.. The only issue I had was that was that I did not have the paper templates on where to drill the holes in order to attach the microwave to the shelf so I had to make my own template.. Your tips where surely helpful on the installation. Thanks.
The fact that you piped up and warned about the weight for the people with bad backs (me) made me click subscribe for that alone. Very knowledgeable man and lots of helpful hints.
Very informative! Just bought a new GE. Replacing a blown up Samsung. You are about to be my guardian angel in this endeavor. Thanks for taking the time to make this video!!
Hi, This is a great step by step video!!! I am installing the same model tonight for a tenant from a different brand so brackets will for sure be different. I feel very confident that I can do it myself. Your instructions were just perfect. Thank you very much and please cross your fingers for me. Thank you again.
Thank you for a great instructional video with common sense and pleasant delivery. I am replacing our old microwave, that had a mind of its own, by also replacing a Thermodor over range hood with a monster fan on roof, with a 1.9 Sq ft Samsung microwave over the range ( that went on sale for $ -240 at Lowes ). Thanks for your helpful video and insight.
never did it before! my overhead blew out.. your info was great very helpful and money saving 'AMERICAN''S thats what we do! help each other. thank you
I'm sorry to tell you this but I believe you installed your blower fan backwards. If you look at around the 20 minute mark you'll see that the blower is facing the backwall of your microwave and thus just blowing the air into the backwall where it is trapped. According to the instructions the blower needs to be facing the front of the microwave so air can travel through the tubes at the top and out the top front of the microwave. To check this, just turn on the exhaust fan and see if there is much air coming out of the exhaust port at the top front of the microwave. Other than that, this video was great, thanks for the help!
I just installed a JVM7195. It replaced a 10 year old GE Profile model that was a forerunner. The former one had a single support bar at the bottom, no side rails as your new one. My new support bar/side rail is exactly like this one. My cabinet over the oven does not have a floor. It has a vertical discharge (not rear horizontal like this one), but nothing to support the two bolts you inserted through the cabinet. I used two chains/turnbuckles to attach to the same support points on the oven. I found studs and used a lag bolt to attach a link to the back wall. I hooked the turnbuckle to the link/lag bolt, then ran the chain from the other end of the turnbuckle to the top of the oven. In shrinking the turnbuckle, pulling on the chain, the oven is snugged up to the cabinet. My biggest problem was getting the new oven fitted to the new support bar. I had the range pulled out, but had trouble lifting the oven in to place. (I am 79, not as strong as 10 years ago!). I held the rear of the oven to the wall, front on a 4 ft step ladder. This allowed me a temporary positioning. I then used a ratchet strap to make a sling - one end hooked to the cabinet on one side, the other end hooked to the other side. This allow me some flexibility to get the oven hooked to the support bar. The key was the ratchet strap sling. I share all this, hoping it may help others.
Thanks this is exactly what I needed, well done easy to understand. Clear instructions, I also feel confident going ahead with this project. BTW your emphasis on safety first was awesome. I kept getting the "look" when I was saying the same thing to my girlfriend when we took the old one down.
That was a super helpful video. It made the whole process less painful and made it so I understood what was gonna unfold and not get too anxious. Thank you!
Did a search for the GE brand I just bought and this was at the top of the list. So glad I watched this as the paper instructions were very hard to follow. THANK You so much!!!
I must say BRAVO!. An excellent description of the task and details for the novice installer. Thank you so much for your great video contribution to RU-vid community. Great Job and many thanks.
Thank you sir, you nailed it with this video and you just helped me save 140 bucks. Thanks for taking the time and uploading this for the public, great work
Thanks for the helpful hints. I'll be installing my new microwave tomorrow full of confidence. I appreciate the emphasis on safety. I'll be sliding out my new stove to save both it and my back should the awkward, uneven weight of the microwave mess with me. Good job explaining what you were doing and what tips should help me for my first microwave installation.
Awesome. I was curious to see what you were standing on. I am about your height and afraid a stool or whatever will kick out from under me. Also. Another way to find where the studs are is to check the overhead cabinet screws, then transfer down to the wall. Thanks for putting out this video!
Thank you for your video. You explain everything very clearly. I think my microwave blew a fuse and I figured out that the custom site built cabinets were built wrong, since I can’t access the panel screws. I will use your video to remove the microwave, change the fuse, and go from there.
thank you for that video, it's clear and making everything easy, but, the thing that I was waiting for it I didn't see it, I wish that you make another video showing in it (How to Install a Microwave Hood with Exhaust Fan)how to make open in the wall behind the microwave to get out the smoke from the microwave filters to outside the kitchen and how to change the fans of the microwave so the would send the smoke to outside the kitchen, thank you.
Very helpful video. Thank You Very Much! We were able to rescue a bird which was stuck behind the microwave that came in from the external vent. Eventful & Happy Memorial Day!
Hi, thanks very much for your help. I have a Maytag overhead range that just quit on me by a humming sound. I checked the breakers and all was fine. I got some one came and found the bottom half of the plug dead. But the upper half had power. Yet the range would not work. He did some adjustments and the range got power. Then he told me not to turn it on without something in there. He left and my daughter went to use it and it quit again.and he is not coming to fix it again. I spoke with him and he said the transformer might be the problem. I am reaching out to you to see if you have any answer for me. Thanks!
Thank you for taking the time to make this video. I think it was excellent. I appreciate you taking the time to explain what it is you are doing and why.
@@KletteTech Not ashamed to admit I needed my son's assistance in holding that sucker up - and those flimsy pieces of paper for the screw guides were not fun to work with...but I got it done and now we have a properly installed microwave...Thanks again!
FYI...I covered the range under the microwave with a sheet and placed a Rubbermaid storage tote on the range and lowered the microwave carefully on the top of the tote so I could get better leverage to sit it out of the way. It worked nicely in helping me remove the unit without killing my back or damaging the stove top.
Good instructions! What if the microwave was vented at the back? We should unscrew the rectangular vent from the outside before we unscrew everything from the top right? I do see that you have a rectangular vent outlet on your wall. I am looking to replace the microwave with a range hood.
Great video, very straight forward to complete. The only question is wouldn't you want to paint first and deal with touch up if something happens, then painting after and having to tape things up???
