Over the Range Microwave Installation - GE Microwave

I go through the steps to install a GE over the range microwave.

I made a rookie mistake years ago installing a microwave. Plug it in to make sure it works PRIOR to installing. I installed it and then found out it was faulty out the box.

Great video. Putting the packing Styrofoam on the stovetop was pure genius. One snag I ran into was that I was replacing a 5-year-old GE model with the same model number, same size, same look, same top venting. So no new mounting plate or screw holes, right? Wrong!
Problem is, the mounting configuration changed, so I had to do all that stuff and the holes were VERY close to the original holes, making things a little sloppy. Worked out fine in the end, but what I had allotted 45 minutes for because I assumed it was an apples-to-apples replacement, took about 2 hours. Thanks, GE.... If not for this video, I'm sure I'd have done a crappier job and it would have taken an hour longer.

You Rock, very precise and accurate. The details on how to install a GE over the range microwave are on point. Truly enjoyed your video.

Well done video. Short, direct, to the point, covers lots of useful information. Thanks.

Thanks for the refresher. I've done this once before 10 years ago but some of your tips for making it even easier were great. Awesome idea to cut around the bottom of the box, use the styrofoam to protect stove and put template on cardboard. Much better than video that popped up after this on same subject.

Very helpful. Worked for me! Only mistake - I accidentally bumped on the electric burner and the styrofoam started melting!

Great and simple video. I will be installing my microwave this weekend.

Appliance companies should hire you to make instructional videos for them... Succinct and accurate. Thank you!

[rebeccagruber]

This instruction was PERFECT. So easy to follow. Thank you so much!

[animted]

Short but had all the necessary information. Great video!

[xfedman]

Thank you. Extremely helpful. I even used your idea of placing the top template on cardboard to hold it in place. Appreciate you taking the time to put the video together. Also, you did the installation solo, which is how I had to do mine.

[janetgreen]

Thank you! I am about to put my new microwave up myself. Unfortunately it was an out of box and does not have a template. Have to make one myself. Also, there is no venting out the top or back of the wall.

[danmidkiff]

Great, and easy to follow video! Thanx for showing all of the template use, and how to change around for the different venting options. This will help me greatly!

[FCESWS]

Thank you for the template idea. Trying to tape that paper up is a PITA!

[vernroach]

Excellent instruction, especially liked the tip on using cardboard to hole the template in place....Well done.
