I have an Amana MVH230W-01 microwave. It is probably 20 years old and I am trying to remove it. I unplugged it and removed any screws I could find, including the 3 in the upper cabinet. Now it will tip forward, but not come out. As it tips forward I hear tearing sounds like it is pulling the sheetrock off the studs. If I tip it forward and try to lift the back of the microwave, it just tips back up. What do I need to do to finish removing this microwave?

SOURCE: Can't remove the vent grill

Two problems found. The electrician that installed the micro. installed it incorrectly. The fan was supposed to be turned so that the exhaust would go through the pre-installed duct in the wall. To remove the grill, there is two screws on top of the micro. which have to be removed. The builder put in a deeper cabinet that covers the screws because it looks better. To fix it I have to drop the micro, take off the grill, clean it and all the grease off the micro., replace the charcoal filter, turn the fan so it will exhaust through the duct and reinstall the micro.

SOURCE: I am trying to remove an old Amana MICROWAVE over

I'm not positive on old Amanas, but some very old units slid out of the main case. The main case was installed and the cooking unit slid inside the case. There were two screws in front that released a connecting device at the rear. Check at the front top corners for a screw that may disconnect this. I have also seen extra screws added through the cabinet to the side, that shouldn't have been put there, that are screwed through the side of the main case. Good luck I am available this evening for further assistance, just let me know. Have a Merry Christmas.
