QuestionDoes the unit have a power cord? If so, would it be long enough (about 48 inches) to plug into a 3 prong wall receptacle beside the existing range)?
Asked 7 years ago by Zip6716.
- Answer The unit does come with a power cord, but it is probably about 24-36 inches. You may need an extension cord. Double Check the specs on the Best Buy link. Francisco

QuestionWhy was a halogen light used for the light inside of the microwave Instead of LED? It becomes very hot on top of the microwave that extends past the cabinet. It is exposed to area that is touched when going to overhead cabinet. Hot with just door open

This question was asked about the related product: Whirlpool - 1.1 Cu. Ft. Low Profile Over-the-Range Microwave Hood Combination - White
- Answer In response to changing the halogen for a LED. Whirlpool says you can not use a LED bulb where they built for a halogen. I wish I could. That would be a quick easy fix.
