Will the bracket and top mounting holes be the same as an older model? null

Question

FrigidaireSupport · Accepted Answer

Hi Ryan, In most cases, no, you should not assume the bracket and top mounting holes will match an older Frigidaire over-the-range microwave exactly.

Frigidaire installation manuals show that each model includes:
- its own wall mounting template,
- top cabinet drilling template,
- and model-specific mounting plate alignment instructions.

Frigidaire support has also stated for replacement installs that you should not expect the old mounting bracket to work, even when replacing another Frigidaire OTR microwave.

So:
- The overall 30" width is usually the same.
- Some holes may line up if the old model is very similar.
- But the safest assumption is that you will likely need to:
   - replace the wall bracket,
   - use the new template,
   - and possibly drill new top mounting holes.
