How to Remove a GE Microwave

Removing a GE microwave is much less involved than installing a GE microwave; however, it is still important that you take precautions when you remove the microwave. For the best and safest results, at least two people should remove the microwave. Attempting to remove the microwave by yourself could lead to a dropped appliance and potential injuries. Once you remove the GE microwave, you can use the wall mount to install another microwave.
