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.
