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.
