Frigidaire Gallery Microwave Review and Options - Model FGMV176NTF 

We bought this too, told my Hubby about the settings we had it on Demo it was not cooking Veggies I did everything too. Your the only video about this model. Those things u mentioned doesn't bother ME, but I get it..thx!!

Thanks! I've been considering a new microwaver.

I bought this microwave on March 18, 2018 and I really like it except for two issues. It is a really nice looking microwave and it really is very quiet. My other microwave, which was also a Frigidaire was 10 years old, it died. I got this at Lowes on sale. One of the things I noticed, and I also seen it in your video, is the dark spots on the white part when you open the door. It's in the upper right side of the opening on the white part. I also had that issue. I believe that the black paint came off the door and was maybe not quiet dry when the assembled these pieces together or something is going on there. It doesn't seem to hurt the operation of the microwave. I was able to get the dark spots cleaned off but they have even come back several times. I am hoping that I have either slowed it down or completely stopped it. I finally place a paper towel in there and left it and even left it when I was running the microwave. I did notice that where these spots are the paint is chipped on the white part on the opening and on the black on the door. Really not sure why this is happening. Maybe someone at Frigidaire will look into this issue. The other issue I have is the cheap charcoal filter that Frigidaire provides for this microwave. It also leaves a lot of little pieces of charcoal when you remove it from the bag. Not very clear instructions on how to exactly insert this in the opening after you remove the screw from the cover and open it up. It obviously has the area for a charcoal filter that has a metal frame, which is the more common one but is about $50 bucks on Frigidaire website. Not really sure if these things do much anyway. Anyway, thanks for posting the video it was very helpful!

We just bought this microwave after 11 yrs of using our ge that was bought from a second hand store, this one was almost $100 off and seemed to have pretty much perfect reviews

Thank you! What happens when you try to set the power level before the cooking time?

Nice video.. just got this microwave last week.. pretty cool microwave... when can you use the metal rack that comes with it??

You could try adding a little piece of cellophane plastic to the inside of the plastic cover on the LED lights; and since LEDs produce next to no heat, the cellophane won't melt/ get damaged! I bet there are plenty of yellow tones of cellophane plastic on arts and crafts supplies stores.

Can you change the power level when using the express cook numbers and can you add 30 sec to the timer when in use.?

Thankyou. That filter light. Geez

What year was this manufactured? I have the CGMV176NTFC model which was manufactured in 2017/08. I'm trying to get access to the fuse but the horizontal piece does not cover the display so it seems like I can't take out the fuse and replace it :/

I just bought this microwave and the only thing I hate about it is the display. In your video the display is green (which matches my current Frigidaire oven). However, they changed the display to a VERY bright white, which lights up our house at night, and is also very hard to read from further than 10 feet away (clock).

Thanks for review and if you still own this please remove the 3 screws and 1"x30" packing plate just under the door when you open it ... it looks so sloppy with it installed. Reinstert the 3 screws once plate is removed. Looks so much cleaner and as said its a packing plate and not ever mentioned in the manuals. Regards

Can I use a 20 amp 250 V fuse to replace the 20 amp 125 V on my microwave Frigidaire

Hello, does your suck air well when recirculation? Mine sucks very little. The fan is blowing great just not sucking welll.

do you happen to know if that vent in the right side wall needs to be covered?

Watching in 2024. I have this newer model with the bright display. Does anyone know how to get the quick options back on? For example, if I hit my 30 seconds button or if I hit the 1 button for 1 minute, it no longer starts automatically. The display just says “food”.

I have the same microwave and I have the dreaded adhesive blotch left on the front from the sticker which led me to your video, looking for a way to remove it. I don’t have any duct tape. However, I will try your method, and I will subscribe to your channel.

Meal in a cup, that would be for cup of noodle soup. I usually just set it for 2 minutes and 15 seconds.

Please show us how to set our clock we have followed the directions to no avail

It's a shame you did'n show any actual food warming in it which, I thought, would be an essential feature to testdrive, since this is why I'm buying a microwave -- to warm food ;))

how to reset the filter light

My microwave indicator button says filter

How do I turn the annoying beeping OFF!

How can i toast?

My 72 year old mother purchased this microwave for her once in 40 years kitchen remodel & she can't open the freaking door! You actually have to yank on the door to pop it open. She doesn't use it because of this. And I don't care what they say about smudge resistant. This thing shows every fingerprint & smudge all over the stainless. The beep is aggravatingly annoying. Do I sound bitter? Because Mom could finally afford to have her kitchen redone and she can't even use her new over the range microwave. Sad

The Frigidaire microwaves look nice but are cheap junk. I bought this model two years ago and now it doesn't work at all. Did all of the electrical diagnosis to check the 3 door switches, fuses and so on. Bad magnatron. Buying a Whirlpool or Maytag to replace it. No more Frigidaire for me!

Not getting much suction out of the bottom exhaust 👎🏻

Those cold led lights (and the bright white display on the new ones) are the main reason I won't buy this.
