So our old microwave a GE bit the dust, was perhaps 20 years old. Purchased a new one and instructions said needs to be 13 inch deep cupboard at the most, and duh the door now hits. Never did on the old as it was a different door design. GE wants $75, Home Depot $130 eBay $75 but with free shipping. BUT the kit puts the MW way out past the front of the cupboard, like maybe 3 inches... ugh.
Now thinking of just 3/4 inch thick plywood behind would give enough clearance and still look ok.. Anybody had the same issue??
