A:AnswerThank you for reaching out to us! While there is not a replacement model for the microwave model FGMV176NTF. However, we were able to locate a similar model (FGMV17WNVF ) with slightly different dimensions, which can be viewed with the following link, https://www.bestbuy.com/site/searchpage.jsp?st=FGMV17WNVF+&_dyncharset=UTF-8&_dynSessConf=&id=pcat17071&type=page&sc=Global&cp=1&nrp=&sp=&qp=&list=n&af=true&iht=y&usc=All+Categories&ks=960&keys=keys. -Ciara
A:AnswerHi, Debbie! We're sorry to hear about your experience. The microwave is overloading the electrical circuit. In other words, the circuit is rated to handle a certain amount of amps (units of electrical current), and the microwave is exceeding that amount.
Below are some tips.
• The microwave is malfunctioning and pulling too much electrical current
• You have too many electrical appliances, including the microwave, plugged into the same
circuit.
• Make sure the microwave has a dedicated circuit
• Microwaves pull about 12 amps and need their own dedicated 20-amp circuit. That means they
shouldn’t be sharing the circuit with any other appliances.
• If the microwave currently shares a circuit with other appliances and runs at the same time as
those appliances, they’ll quickly overload the circuit and trip the breaker.

A:AnswerHello, DEEM! The black finish is glossy, and the smudge-proof stainless steel has an extra chromium coating that may give it a different reflective quality and shade. We hope that this information is useful for your shopping pleasure! -Katrina
