Good day, Joy! Here’s what Frigidaire’s manuals & specs say about using the newer 1.8 cu. Ft. Over‑The‑Range Microwave with PureAir Filter as a replacement for an older Frigidaire PLMV169DCC unit: Newer Frigidaire 1.8 cu. ft. over‑the‑range microwaves (like FMOS1846/FFMV1846 series) typically measure around: - Width: ~29 7/8 in - Height: ~16 3/8 in - Depth: ~15 3/4 in (front to back) The older PLMV169DCC model was an over‑the‑range microwave of approximately: - Width: ~29 15/16 in - Height: ~16 3/8 in - Depth: ~16 15/16 in (not including door handle) Both are about the same width and height, with the new model slightly shallower front‑to‑back than the old one. That means the overall external envelope is very similar and should fit a standard 30‑inch wide opening. Bottom Line Yes, the newer 1.8 cu. ft. Over‑The‑Range Microwave with PureAir Filter has essentially the same overall size and can serve as a replacement for a PLMV169DCC in a standard 30″ opening. It is NOT guaranteed to be a direct plug‑and‑play replacement that fits exactly into the old sleeve without any modification, because older mounting brackets and hole patterns often differ. - Maico
