Microwave with hinges on RIGHT?

6 years ago

Hey everyone! My dads kitchen is a little different in the way it is set up. Unfortunately with the layout of where the stove is placed and where the wall is, he needs a microwave that either has the hinges on the right, or has a way for the door to open all the way up even though it is up against the wall. It needs to be one with an exhaust fan built in underneath as well. Does anyone have any ideas? I know this sounds crazy, but I hope someone here can help me out! These pictures are of his current microwave but as you can see, the way this one is made it allows the door to open a full 90 degrees. Most over the stove units don’t fit.

Hi, Is the problem the dimensions or that you can't find a zero clearance door?

Not sure if it's the right dimensions, but here's one that claims zero clearance

You may need to go to an appliance store. I find they know all the models and will match any price.

Excellent. I think you'll be able to find one easily as that seems to be a feature in the newer microwaves. If there is one in your area, please do go to a local store that specializes in appliances. I found the staff at mine to be very knowledgeable and they do a lot of the leg work for you. Also, if there is an issue, they will fix it, you don't have to. And they are very sensitive to online prices and will match them for the same product. At least that's what I found.

I know when I try to do things to help my parents, it's best to not have things go wrong. :-)

All the best to you!
