Well I started with the current model number, they do not make that anymore. Now try and find the current number of a microwave convection oven that will fit, staying with General Electric products. Found the one on the Home Depot website. But I want to touch a microwave convection oven that will fit before I buy one.

Morning 71 Degrees, Wind variable, calm to 2 Mph, Humidity 92%, partly cloudy.

Microwave oven is delivered between three and four o’clock today. I get it unpacked and ready to install. The vent fan has to be rotated for recirculated air operation as it is shipped in the top vent position. That is all outside work and I am planning to use the original wall bracket, same manufacturer although the new bracket is a little different looking.  

Sitting on cart waiting

John came home late from work and helped me “hang” the Microwave oven but it is not lining up it seems to drop in the wall bracket ok and the front bolts at difficult to get started. It is difficult reaching over the stove holding the sixty plus pound unit while starting the bolts.  

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          

Microwave Bolt

One nice thing the bolts are extra long making it easier to start them. It seams like the Microwave oven does not “sit” down in the bracket as it should, take it back down and change the bracket and put it up again. Still having problem with one front bolt. Needs to be a little wider hole to get that started. One more time down and up with the Microwave oven. Made the hole a little wider, by the way there were large washers on the original bolt installation compensating for the large hole.
