How do i remove a over the stove microwave?

On a 1-10 scale- this is a 2.
place a cardboard box on the stove to support the microwave once it is free.
Remove power cord from the outlet in the cabinet over the microwave.
In the cabinet over the microwave, locate the 2 mounting screws.
Loosen each one about 6 turns- the microwave should drop down in the front by about 1/2 inch.
Once loose, you can remove both screws completely and allow the front of the oven to rest on the cardboard box.
While supporting the front of the microwave,have a helper remove the cardboard box.
Tricky part...while supporting the front - angled slightly down, lift hard under the rear of the microwave and pull toward you.
Have a helper feed the power cord through the upper cabinet bas as you bring the microwave toward you and slightly down.
Place the microwave on the counter- with a towel in place to prevent scratching the counter.
remove the rear-wall mounted support bracket.
Done

Have a maytag microwave #MAYMMC5000ADB SER # 0039UF that is 10 years old and broken. We have the trim kit that fits our opening Item # JM MK241B 24

Measure the opening and also the trim kit dimensions and go shopping for a new unit as 10 old ones rarely have parts available

My microwave oven isn't heating my food. Everything else works, the fan, the lights and the keypad. The microwave turns and sounds like everything is working but the food won't get hot. It is only 1 yr...

If it's less than one year old, it would be fully covered under warranty and you should contact the manufacturer to get it fixed free.

Some have longer warranties, and that will be covered in your owner's manual.

My maytag over the oven microwave just died;

most likely the power supply in the microwave is gone. the microwave die probably it is over the oven. heat from the stove cause the microwave to heat up and cold off more than it is on the counter.
counter microwave has fan and air slot in the rear. it keep the motor and microwave cool, and there nothing else to keep it hot. but the over the oven, the only ventalation is from the top. and with the added heat from the stove top and oven.

There is a considerable amount of weight to lower. It is an easier removal with the range pulled out and moved to the side. If you choose to move the range, be sure to protect the floor. Unplug the microwave. The plug should be in the cabinet above the range. There are two screws in the cabinet above that screw down into the top and support the front. These are the only fasteners that hold the machine directly. An assistant would be nice to have to help with the weight. While supporting the microwave, remove the two screws and slowly lower the front of the microwave pulling the cord out of the cabinet above as you go. Once the cord is free, tilt the machine down in front until the back can be lifted up off the plate that is fastened to the wall.

Disagree...trying to remove one now, and removed the screws (have oven braced on jackstands and wood) and it will not tip forward, and is rock solid on wall. Can see one blot in upper left corner through removed access panel, yet the other wall bolt is BEHIND vnet fan assembly with no way to acces it without destroying the oven. I had planned to donate it to the habitat for humanity.

Block the microwave up with some sturdy cardboard boxes or something. Then look for the screws through the cabinet above and possibly to the sides. Always look inside the cabinets closest to the microwave. As you loosen and then remove these screws the microwave will come free. Then you can unplug it.
