I currently own a model LMV1680ST, which is not working well. Would this model fit directly in its place? My current microwaves vent fan constantly comes on by by itself intermittently - driving me insane!

The width dimensions are the same on both microwaves. I looked up your model on LG.COM. The mounting of the microwave is different than yours but should fit. The mounting brackets on the wall will have to be changed from your microwave to the LMV1683ST bracket. I'm not sure of the mounting holes in the cabinet or the location of the power cord through the cabinet. You may want to chech the installation manuals for both microwaves on LG.COM to help make your decision.

I replaced my original GE unit with this LG unit and it fit perfectly, so my guess is it should work in your situation as well as a direct plug in.

Yes, as long as your space is the standard 30", but you stull may have to update the back hardware plate (included)

We regret to hear that your current microwave is not working well, but as to whether or not the LG 1.6 cubic foot Over-the-Range Microwave, Model # LMV1683ST would be a direct fit, the only difference between the dimensions for the 2 units is in their depth and it is hardly a difference at all. The LMV1683ST is 0.0625" deeper so if should fit without any problem!...IFV

You will want to compare the dimensions as well as the specific features of each unit to determine if this model is a direct, exact fit for you.
