Q: QuestionThe depth of the cabinet opening is 14 inches. My current Panasonic microwave fit even though it required a maximum depth of 13 inches. Will the LG microwave fit also even though it requires a maximum depth of 13 inches?
Asked by George.
- A:Answer Hi there, George. Thank you for your question about the LG Over-the-Range Microwave (model MVEL2033D). We understand you're concerned about whether it will fit into a cabinet opening with a depth of 14 inches. The maximum depth for this LG microwave is 15 7/8 inches (exterior depth). Since your cabinet opening is 14 inches deep, this microwave won’t fit without some modification to the opening, as it exceeds the available space by almost 2 inches. Your Panasonic microwave likely fit because it was designed to accommodate a slightly shallower depth (maximum of 13 inches), but the LG model requires more space. https://www.lg.com/us/cooking-appliances/lg-mvel2033d-over-the-range-microwave#pdp_specs If you would like more assistance with finding a microwave that fits your specific dimensions, feel free to reach out, and we’d be happy to help you find the right one.
