when i placed my microwave on the brackets (with the sticky tape) the microwave is actually slanted at an angle downwards. Is this suppose to happen.?

I screwed mines into the wall and it stayed up, I still don't have any problems to this day. I don't think sticky tape will work for the long run.

Yes. That is why I took it down. Put it up for my elderly mother. Looked like it would fall on her. Didn't want to take the chance. Wouldn't suggest it for little kids. Pay a little more for a better shelf.

I did not have that issue. You may need to use anchors or fasten it to a stud.

It happened with me which it seems that the microwave weight is heavier than tje mount or the mount itself is weak.

No, it should be level. I found that I had to rearrange the sticky tap once I placed the microwave on brackets because of the "feet" on my model of microwave.

I would check with the manufacturer of the microwave. There might be some sort of metallic component in the paint that could short-circuit it.

Hi, there. We are remodeling our kitchen and I can't find anything. Interesting, this is my third one in 35 years and never put it in the microwave, always the oven. I'll get back to you when I find it. I know it would not fit in my smaller microwave.

Not sure what the issue was Mary but I haven't seen any trouble with mine since I got it. By the way it is the best microwave I have ever had... love this one!

The microwave was too heavy for me to lift out of the box and put it on the counter. You want to be sure you have enough counter space and room above the oven so you need the dimensions. Once the oven was out of the box and counter level I was able to move it about and lift it to clean under, but it is too heavy to lift and carry for me. I assume, Jim. that you're a guy and you might not have that problem.

This microwave has a turntable. I've never heard of a microwave tray moving side to side. Something new?

I had the same problem because the metal disk on the right side of the grilling rack. It has little bumps on it that are supposed to fit into matching indentations in the side of the grill itself. There is a spot to hold it flat, and another spot to hold it slightly tilted. On mine, the metal disc was bent so the bumps didn't fully engage the indents. I tried to straighten it out myself, but couldn't. Contacted MECO, and after seeing pictures & my description of the problem sent me a whole new handle/heating element/grill rack piece. Once I replaced it, everything worked as it should. Of course there is also the possibility you installed it in the wrong hole on the left side of the grill, and it won't work. Apparently this is very common, since their customer service was pretty sure that was the problem until I sent them pictures showing it was installed correctly.

I have purchased 2, and both of mine have different angles as well. Not sure why.

The bracket has to be modified and the old mounting hardware adapted. If I had to do it again I would search for an exact replacement. My wife was afraid of it once she looked in the oven and saw the way it was mounted (weeks later and after she had used it). I ended up buying her a new oven to keep her happy!

I think your microwave is an 1150 W, but in this case it does not matter. And no there is no reason for the top to pop, look at the top it has a vent hole,there is no seal. If you do not have a rotating glass platter you might have been in a cold spot. All microwaves have hot and cold spots. Just experiment. Increase cooking 30-45 secs, that should do it.

This happened to me. Models of microwave have different carousel glass plates that are NOT interchangeable. How they mount inside is based on the feet of the plate. Only buy a replacement that says it is compatible with your model.

sorry, I did not buy this one. I ended up having a carpenter install a shelf for my microwave. It was cheaper.

It should slightly angle downward- make sure the arm on the TV that is there to hold the TV up when connecting wires is up properly.

Hi Andrea,We have put our microwave on top on of the"cupboard". Also, it does have a low grade finish. So far, everything is working out very well. :)

I'm guessing that brush on would be more accurate and less messy. I did experience some overspray when I did my microwave.

Yeah, same exact thing with mine. I've seen some other comments online that indicate people's microwaves are breaking in this fashion after a year or two. I've had mine just over 2 years, and here to purchase another. Mine was fine right up until the point it started failing, exactly like yours. I just don't think these microwaves are super tough.

You know, I never noticed it before, but there is maybe a slant that is somewhere between 3 and 5 degrees. I have the Encyclopedia version. No one else has ever noticed and I just got a compliment on it yesterday. Thanks for making it so I can never un-see this Sharon. Now I might have to burn this and get something else. Sad face.
