After a week or so of regular use, I can hear the fan. In order to confirm what's happening (I think a sticky armature), I need to gain acces to the fan motor. The MW is mounted on the wall in between and below kitchen cabinets. Can I access this motor from underneath, or do I have to remove the unit from the wall altogether? Thanks for any input!! Dondd
