We just bought a microwave (MMV4205BAS) from a resale non-profit. We bought the parts to mount but we need to fix the venting before we can mount as the air has nowhere to go. Do I need to buy a part to seal close the top vent or is there an easier option?
Paul, if you look on top of the microwave before you install it you will see where the fan is located at the back edge. There should be 2-4 screws that hold it in place. Remove the screws and pull the fan up and out of the microwave and rotate the unit 90 degrees towards the front of the microwave and put it back in and replace the screws. That should be all that you have to do to get it to vent out the front.

The installation manual should help you deal with these issues. If you don't have yours, you can download it here:

One important thing is to make sure you have a good vent door on the outside of the home. If that's not working right, it allows mor cold air in. Also, the pipe should be insulated.

Take it back to the store and make them do something about them. If they dont then file a complaint with the BBB no reason for you to have to deal with this when it is there problem. It sounds like there is a venting issue and more going on
