Asked by Linda.

Q: QuestionIf the microwave that I’m replacing is right at 16 in in height, will the LG that is 16 1/2 still fit if the bottom is open where it will slide in?
Asked by Deb.
- A:Answer Hi there, Deb. Thank you for your interest in the LMV1764ST Over-the-Range Microwave. We understand your inquiry regarding the installation height. The exterior height of this model is 16 7/16 inches. Since these units typically mount to the cabinet above and the space below is open, the extra height means the unit will hang slightly lower than your previous one. We recommend measuring the distance from the bottom of the new microwave to your cooktop surface to ensure you maintain the necessary safety clearance. https://www.bestbuy.com/product/lg-1-7-cu-ft-over-the-range-microwave-with-sensor-cook-and-easyclean-stainless-steel/J7G5658XFV If you have any further questions about its features, please contact us on [email protected], and our team will be more than happy to assist you. —Renzo

Q: QuestionI need 6 inch installation bolts to go thru a cabinet face. Where can I get 6 inchers for this microwave?
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer Hi there. Thank you for sharing your inquiry with us regarding your LMV1764ST Over-the-Range Microwave. We understand your inquiry about finding 6-inch installation bolts to accommodate a cabinet face.
