# How to Get a Kenmore Microwave Off the Wall
Kenmore wall-mounted microwaves connect to a bracket bolted into the wall as well as the underside of the cabinet. Removing the appliance for repairs or replacement takes less than half an hour with basic tools. Recruit a helper to assist in holding the microwave while you remove support hardware. This will prevent the appliance from crashing to the counter or floor.
