Hi all,
I did post a question on the "Microwave Swap" thread, to which Pierpressure1 was kind enough to tell me what needs to be done, but I'm still stuck on how?
Here's the issue. The Sharp Carousel microwave needs to be replaced. I've read some great suggestions on the previously mentioned thread about what alternatives fit, which is great... the issue I have is how to remove the existing microwave?
Apparently I need to remove the fridge first and get to some screws which secure the underside of the microwave?... makes sense... HOWEVER, when I try and slide the refrigerator out, the top flange gets stuck under the trim below the microwave (see pics, which I hope help tell the story?)... I thought maybe the refrigerator flange needs to be removed, but it's either not, or it's rusted/seized in place, as I couldn't budge it - not that I tried too hard, for fear of damaging the fridge).
I'm hoping there are some out there who can help?... thanks in advance!
Cheers,
Simon
