Q: QuestionCan this microwave replace FGMV175QBA? Can this microwave be top mounted

Asked 9 months ago by Sweet.

• A:Answer Good day, Sweet! Yes, the Frigidaire Gallery FGMV175Q series over-the-range microwave (including models like FGMV175QB, FGMV175QF, and FGMV175QW) can replace your existing microwave, provided that the dimensions and installation requirements match your current setup. This model is designed for over-the-range installation, with dimensions of approximately 29 7/8" (W) x 16 13/32" (H) x 15 1/32" (D), and requires a minimum 30" wide cabinet opening. Regarding top mounting, the Frigidaire FGMV175Q series is designed for over-the-range installation, which typically involves mounting the microwave above the range or cooktop. This installation method is standard and provides convenient access to the microwave while optimizing kitchen space. Ensure that your kitchen layout and cabinet configuration can accommodate the microwave's dimensions and installation requirements. - Maico

Q: QuestionIf you’re installing the microwave using one of the duct instillation types, do you still need a spacer for cabinets that are more than 13 inches in depth?

Asked 9 months ago by ZiggyQ.

This question was asked about the related product: Frigidaire - 1.8 Cu. Ft. Over-The-Range Microwave with PureAir Filter - Black

• A:Answer Hi there, ZiggyQ! When installing the Frigidaire Gallery 27" Electric Wall Oven and Microwave Combination (model GCWM2767AF) with one of the ducted ventilation types (external venting), the installation instructions typically mention whether you need a spacer for cabinets that are deeper than 13 inches. In this case, the need for a spacer depends on how the microwave is mounted and the available depth of your cabinet. The 13-inch depth is often referenced to ensure that the microwave’s vent and exhaust system have enough room to function properly when venting externally. If your cabinet depth is greater than 13 inches, you may still need a spacer to ensure that the microwave fits properly and vents effectively. However, in most cases, the spacer is required for cabinets that are too shallow to accommodate the ventilation system without interfering with the ducting. If your cabinet depth is greater than 13 inches, you should not need a spacer, but you must check the installation manual for the specific requirements, as some configurations might still require one for optimal performance and fit. Always refer to the installation manual provided by Frigidaire for exact guidelines specific to your cabinet size and the venting option you're using. - Maico

• A:Answer Hi! Thank you for your inquiry and for reaching out. Yes, this microwave would fit in the same space as your previous model [FMV157GS]. They're exactly the same width and close in depth and height measurement. For the tool kits, you may refer to page EN-5 of the installation instructions manual.

Q: QuestionWe purchased this model to replace the PLMV169. We realized with the way our tiles go up under the microwave we need to mount from the top like the original. Is it possible to do this with the FMOS1846BS? or another one that does mount from top same size

Asked 1 year ago by SMColorado.

However, it's important to check the specific installation instructions for this model to confirm the mounting options and ensure it will work with your tile setup.

Q: QuestionCan you build this microwave into a kitchen island and not use it above an oven?

Asked 1 year ago by Lin.

• A:Answer Hello, Lin. We appreciate your inquiry. Yes, it's generally possible to install an over-the-range microwave in a kitchen island instead of above the oven, but there are some considerations to keep in mind, like, Ventilation, Space and Accessibility, Electrical and Plumbing Considerations, Support and Installation, and Aesthetics. Before proceeding with the installation, it's a good idea to consult with a professional contractor or kitchen designer to ensure that the installation will be safe, functional, and compliant with local building codes. Additionally, consult the installation manual to ensure that installing the microwave in a kitchen island is compatible with the specific model you have. - Christi
