Q: Questionreplacing a FGMV176NTF... would the mounting be the same? Pretty sure they are quite similar!

• A:Answer Not a guarantee. We thought this new item should have the same mounting profile as the installed Frigidaire Gallery microwave, buy it was not identical. The newer model required the mounting plate to be an inch lower than the existing mount. If going directly onto the wall, it should not be a problem, but we had backsplash right up to the existing mounting plate. This required us to remove one inch of ceramic backsplash. That was a very dirty task and required the use of a 3 1/2 “ blade circular saw, with a diamond tip blade and an Oscillating tool with a diamond tip blade. If you have to perform this task, here are some recommendations for doing this and not crack your existing tiles. 1) Place tape directly over the area to be cut and mark you line on the tape. 2) Adjust the saw to make 1/16” deep cuts with each pass, till you are through. 3) have a second person with a spray bottle of water spray the cutting area to try and minimize the dust.

Q: QuestionIs this a direct replacement for an older model PLMV169DCC? I need it to fit exactly in the sleeve.

Asked 1 month ago by Joy.

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

• A:Answer 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

Q: QuestionCan this unit be connected directly to electrical wiring or does it need to be plugged into a wall outlet?

Asked 3 months ago by MikeE.

• A:Answer Hi there, Mike E! The Frigidaire 1.8 cu ft Over-the-Range Microwave (with the model such as FMOW1852AS / FMOS1846 series) here is what the installation manual specifies regarding electrical connection: What it does require - The unit is rated for 120 V AC, 60 Hz. - It draws about 13.5 amps at 120 V. This microwave oven must be plugged into a wall receptacle that is properly installed and grounded. It is equipped with a cord having a grounding plug. You should install this microwave so that it plugs into a proper 3-prong grounded receptacle (outlet) in the cabinet or wall above the range. It’s not meant to be hardwired (wires permanently connected) unless the manufacturer or a qualified electrician provides an approved modification or kit that permits it, and you’d need to check local electrical/power code as well. If you were thinking of wiring it directly (without a plug), you’d want to first check: - Does the model variant come with a power cord and plug, or is it sold as “hardwire” capable? - Are there local code requirements in your area (Philippines / Manila) about over-the-range microwaves and connections? - Would any warranty be affected if you bypass the plug? - Maico

Q: QuestionDoes it come with mounts for under the cabinet?

Asked 5 months ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer Hi there, valued consumer! You will need mounting hardware to install the Frigidaire 1.8 Cu. Ft. Over‑The‑Range Microwave with PureAir Filter under your cabinet. Typically, this model comes with a mounting plate plus screws and toggle bolts, which are used to attach the unit securely to the back wall and to the cabinet above. However, it does not include dedicated “under‑cabinet mount brackets” as a separate accessory—you install it using the wall‑mounting plate and the top cabinet support setup provided in the installation instructions. - Maico

Q: QuestionIs the duct opening at the back at the top or bottom? I need a microwave for bottom vent opening if that exists.

Asked 6 months ago by Anonymous.

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

• A:Answer The Frigidaire FMOS1846BS has its duct opening located at the top rear of the unit, which can be configured for either top (vertical) or rear (horizontal) external venting, or set up for recirculating use. This model does not have a bottom vent opening, so it wouldn’t be suitable if your installation requires venting through the bottom. - Reed
