Q: QuestionI have an Frigidaire gallery microwave (Fgnv174KFB) and I wonder if the mounting bar would have to be replaced if I replace the old one with this one. Or could I use the old mounting bar on the wall?

Asked 3 months ago by Lilxbyul.

• A:Answer Hi Lilxbyul, thank you for reaching out. For Frigidaire over-the-range microwaves, the rear mounting plate (mounting bar) is model-specific. Even if two models appear similar in size, the mounting hole locations, exhaust cutouts, and weight distribution can differ. For that reason, when replacing your FGNV174KFB with the GMOS1968AF, the existing wall mounting bar should be removed and replaced with the new mounting plate included with the GMOS1968AF. Reusing the old plate is not recommended, as it may not align properly and could affect secure installation and venting. - Reed
