LG 2.1 Cu Ft Over the Range Microwave MVEL2137
**I have moved and no longer have this microwave, so I can’t answer any questions about it. Search for the manual online**
We ordered this microwave from Home Depot on 11/10/22 & had it delivered 11/29/22 (not bad these days). Since I couldn’t find one in store to look at in person and didn’t see any decent videos online, figured I’d make a quick one to help anyone considering it.
You can find detailed specs & features and manual online.
Our initial impressions are we’re pretty happy but don’t look forward to the constant wiping off of fingerprints from the display/touch area, but we more or less expected that.

Cool. Have a 2012 LG OTR Microwave. Has the extenda vent. On your the back filters coming down is cool. I just replaced the turntable motor today. Had to remove the extenda vent. It was gross in there, when the kitchen installers installed the Microwave, they never put the back filters in, just realized today to get filters in the back.

@rghamilton7643 Год назад

Thanks for the video as we were about to buy one. NOTE: I see at the end of the video, you demonstrate it running without having anything in there. NEVER do that. It can damage the magnetron and you will be buying a new one. At a minimum, put a cup of water in there to absorb the microwaves so they don't reflect back into the magnetron and burn it out. It can happen quicker than you think

@Ncoastjack Год назад

Appreciate the advice - but it ran for only about 20 seconds. Modern microwaves (built since the late 90’s) have protections built into them to protect against the damage you’re referring to. You’d need to exceed about 8-10 minutes of operation to damage it.

Your video is very informative. I didn't know about the nifty little trick with the fans until I saw you do it. Thanks for sharing. We're considering purchasing this model but we're wondering if it's easy to clean the glass without interfering with the settings buttons. Are they sensitive to being wiped with a cloth?

@Ncoastjack Год назад

No issues during cleaning of the glass. Haven’t accidentally turned it on or anything.

@thebeanmachine8327 7 месяцев назад

Question for you. For the extend vents, do they sit flush with the rear? Was did you have to notch out your tile backslash to account for the additional inch or does the vent offset from the rear?

@rogerlinscheid3071 8 месяцев назад

Hi and thanks for the video. We bought the same model after watching it. I understand that you don't have the unit anymore, but do you remember if the keypad turned itself off after a few minutes? The manual says it should, but ours is on all the time. Can't find an option in the settings to enable the blanking of the keypad. Maybe there is a secret settings menu? Thanks again.

@Ncoastjack 8 месяцев назад

Ours definitely did. I believe it took around 1.5 - 2 minutes to turn off. I don’t recall if there was a setting on the Microwave or in the mobile app for it.

How far out does the microwave need to stick out past the cabinet to allow the door to open freely? Thank you.

@SabrinaThomas-ol4zv Год назад

Do you do any additional venting in the cabinets or did you just plug it in and let the vents it came with do the job? We were trading in the manual that proper venting was necessary but we have never had to do that.

@Ncoastjack Год назад

Like nearly all new microwaves, there are multiple configuration options to properly vent, depending on whether you have roof, wall or room venting. I am using the room venting which requires you to re-orient the blower.

@WVUfanMG 4 месяца назад

For anyone who has this: how much air comes out of the top vents with the fan running? When set to room vent.

@lindawilson1799 Год назад

Can you share the template from the install. I can't go by the dimensions on the description due to my small upper cabinet (recessed on bottom)and a very thick granite backslash. Can you provide the dimensions of your cabinet and how far out from the back of the cabinet to where the mounting screws ended up? Thank you!

@Ncoastjack Год назад

The space mine is in is about 30.5” wide and about 11.5” deep from my granite and about 12” or so from the wall to front end of cabinets.

I would think you would do a great IN-Depth review on how well it cooks? Thanks

@Ncoastjack 11 месяцев назад

Nope - I work in I.T. for a living. Not a product reviewer or RU-vidr or anything. Just made a quick video to fill the gap I had when I was microwave shopping. Cooks fine though - as good as any other microwave I’ve owned.

@stephaniehenry5617 9 месяцев назад

Did you have any trouble with condensation on the panel while cooking? And when you cleaned off the glass was it confusing the system because you're rubbing across all the touch buttons?

@bocfat 11 месяцев назад

one of the better reviews but how about how well it cooks or doesnt, like defrost, like popcorn, we have bought and returned 3 microwaves that couldn't cook popcorn without burning it. Our old Sharp Carousel cooked any popcorn and sensor turned it off at right time.

@Ncoastjack 11 месяцев назад

I eat a lot of popcorn and it cooks it very well by just hitting the popcorn button. I usually pull it out about 6-8 seconds before the timer hits 0.

were you able to reduce the heating power? i cook things that need to reduce power to 50%. I did not see the option on the same model minus the extendavent.

Yep - works fantastic. Love the under LED lights, extended exhaust fans, and appearance. Easy to keep clean. We DID manage to put a small chip in the front edge of the extended exhaust tray when we accidentally tapped it with a plate. Not a big deal - but was a little bit of a bummer. Seemed to happen very easily. We touched it up with some gray paint and can barely tell now.

@MajorTendonitis Год назад

Awesome looking . I ordered one in black stainless, but I’m concerned about my upper cabinet supporting it. I purchased the cabinet from HD , the one you assemble yourself , and I’m debating to add some angle iron to the inside corners and glue and screw them in place . The front on the cabinet only has these two pins on each side that keep it together. I’d be devastated if they broke threw the particleboard and my new microwave fell onto my new LG range 😢

@khabars123net Год назад

@@MattAlexanderwhat was the issue? Mine does not hold a napkin either.

@MattAlexander Год назад

@@khabars123net when they install the venting on top there is effectively a flap on the pipe. If the pipe gets slightly bent during install, it can make the flap stick closed instead of flapping open when turned on. These means it forces lots of air through small cracks making it noisy. So check your venting duct. Easy check is it should be blowing really crazy out the other end of pipe. If only a bit coming out other end then it’s blocked and will be noisy
