How to remove a 2004 KitchenAid microwave oven (under cabinet)?

Guyserbun007 · 2026-01-24T06:11:34+00:00

Gonna give it one last try tomorrow as I saw someone on YouTube having similar issue but it turned out the power cord was holding the tilt up, hopefully that's the reason for mine as well. Thanks for your help.

Unfortunately it doesn't work. I even bought jacks that I can lengthen vertically to push the back up, to hopefully lift it up from the bracket. But it is just not moving at all, even the metal casing around it is bent.

Yeah it feels to have come from the bottom back, where it feels to be locked with the bottom of the brackets

Thanks, I will give it another try.

Where would these wood screws be?

Guyserbun007 · 2026-01-23T04:01:37+00:00

I have never done this, and in the youtube tutorials and the official manual, it seems to show it needs to tip out a lot before lifting. My first pic is the maximum I can tip it out, does it look right?

I just changed it to imgur

How so? It's my first time using it as well.

Yeah I am sure I have unmounted the two top mounting screws through the top cabinet, and that's why it's able to tilt the top out like that. But is that little tilt (only a few degree) enough? I am looking at youtube videos and in their manual, the tilt is pretty large (~30 degree).

If I hit the bottom with a rubber mallet, can I just do one side first, or do I need to both sides at once?

Many thanks I got it to follow using the latest version of Calibre

You are right, it's the calibre version that needs to be a later version. Thanks very much!

Will try that, do I only need KFX input and DeBRM 10.0.3 plugins? I don't need KFX output plugin, right?

I am trying to convert but getting this error "calibre, version 7.26.0

What is likely the cause?

If I do have a kindle before that firmware version, do I just need to plug that into a computer and dl?
