I am trying to remove a Whirlpool mh7140xfb0 microwave from underneath a cabinet. However, I cannot figure out how to lift it off the wall mount/bracket because the cabinet is in the way. Does anyone have any handy tricks or professional field experiences that may help??

Director,

You need to be careful, and you may need a helper. Sometimes You have to put that cabinet at a pretty steep angle to remove it. It may be best to have a helper.

Here are the instructions :

Unplug microwave oven or disconnect power.

Remove filters and vent grille.

If filters are installed, push in at the tab and slide filter to the outside edge to remove.

Remove the two screws from the top of the microwave oven cabinet (the screws located closest to the front corners). Do not remove the screws
located towards the center of the cabinet.

Remove the vent grille . Set the screws and grille aside.

After removing all oven contents including the turntable and support,
tape the door in the closed position. Then remove the two bolts securing the microwave oven to the upper cabinet.

While wearing gloves, grasp the microwave oven supports and firmly
pull the microwave oven forward and downward to release the microwave
oven cabinet from the mounting plate locking pins.
Grasp the microwave oven cabinet. Rotate the microwave oven downward.
(Be careful that door does not swing open.) Lift off the support tabs at the bottom of the mounting plate. Set the microwave oven aside on a protected surface.

Good Luck,
:) :) :)
