A:AnswerThe LG 1.3 Cu. Ft. Low-Profile Over-The-Range Microwave with Sensor Cook and Zero Clearance Door - Black, Model # MVEF1337F can be vented in one of three ways; Roof-venting, Wall-venting, or Room-venting (aka recirculating mode).
It is shipped with the blower assembled for room venting. You need to adjust the blower if you want wall-venting or roof-venting installation.
The ductwork you need for outside ventilation is not included with the microwave oven...^Ivan.
A:AnswerIn response to LG answer- surely not! Most of these are minimal 18 inches, 30 seems way high for any manufacturer.... but hey, if it is 30 it is but I think thats gonna rule me and quite a few others out
A:AnswerHello there, Anna. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We understand your inquiry regarding the placement of the LG MVEF1337F.
Based on the specifications for this unit, the LG MVEF1337F is an Over-the-Range Microwave designed specifically to be mounted above a cooktop. It features a bottom venting system and lighting that are not suitable for countertop placement. Therefore, we do not recommend placing this unit on a counter. Your feedback is important, and we'd like to assist you further.

A:AnswerThere is no measurement for where to tile up when you install the LG 1.3 Cu. Ft. Low-Profile Over-The-Range Microwave with Sensor Cook and Zero Clearance Door - Black, Model # MVEF1337F.
The LG has to be installed a minimum of 30" above your countertop/cooktop surface, and under your upper kitchen cabinets, before you install the microwave oven. Since the microwave oven has a height of 11 15/16'', that means there will be a space of 18 1/16" between the bottom of the microwave oven and your Countertop/Cooktop surface after installation...^Ivan.
A:AnswerHi there. Thank you for sharing your experience with your LG over-the-range microwave model MVEF1337F. We understand your inquiry regarding airflow coming from the left grille even after verifying correct external vent installation. According to LG’s flexible venting design, this model can be configured for room recirculation or external venting through the roof or back wall. When set up for external venting, make sure the duct damper is properly installed and the blower assembly is oriented correctly for exhaust to the outside. Additionally, even with external venting, it’s common for the microwave’s internal cooling fan to exhaust a small amount of air through the grille area (often toward the upper left) to cool internal components independent of the hood vent airflow. This internal exhaust is separate from the main exhaust path and can be felt as airflow near the grille.
If you notice unusually strong airflow or hear excessive noise, you can double-check that the blower fan is rotated/configured per the installation instructions so that the primary vent path leads outside, and that the grease filters are clean and properly seated to avoid obstruction. Cleaning or replacing the charcoal/grease filters regularly helps maintain optimal airflow and prevents buildup that could cause backpressure or increased noise. If everything appears correctly installed and filters are clean, but you still have concerns about airflow patterns or performance, we’d be happy to look further into your specific installation details.

A:AnswerHello there, Vaughn. Thank you for sharing your experience with your LG over-the-range microwave model MVEF1337F. We understand your inquiry about whether the controls illuminate. The MVEF1337F features SmoothTouch® glass controls that are backlit during operation—when the microwave is powered on or when you touch the panel, the icons and text light up for visibility, and they “disappear” (go dark) when not in use to maintain the sleek look. The control panel is located on the bottom front edge, so when you approach or open the door, you’ll see the backlighting activate for easy access.
If you notice the controls not lighting up at all, please ensure the unit is properly connected to power and that the Control Lock feature isn’t engaged (refer to the owner’s manual section on Control Lock for steps to disable it).

A:AnswerHi there, Schnopps. We understand your inquiry about the MVEF1337F over‑the‑range microwave. The cooktop lighting on this model uses energy‑efficient LED lamps rather than halogen, providing bright, cool light and longer service life. As a quick troubleshooting tip, if you ever notice the lights dimming or flickering, make sure the grease filter is clean and properly seated—buildup can block light output.

A:AnswerHi there, Schnopps. We understand your inquiry about the LG MVEF1337F over‑the‑range microwave. The outer sides and cabinet of this model are constructed from painted steel metal, not plastic, providing a sturdy, long‑lasting finish. For best results when cleaning, gently wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth and a mild, non‑abrasive detergent—this helps remove smudges without harming the finish. If you ever notice streaks or spots, dry the surface immediately with a clean microfiber cloth to maintain that sleek appearance.

A:AnswerSo far after a week i have not had that problem.
Have u ensured whether the mechanisn to vent outside is connected properly. Is the fan direction adjusted for outside venting? -(with the previous GE , the fan had to be reversed).
With this LG, there is a bracket to insert to change the direction of the exhaust air.
