Recommended Replacement For A Samsung MC1015WB/BB RV Microwave

Question:

2005 Itasca Cambria 23d. I would like to replace the Samsung MC1015WB/BB microwave. Any suggestions on how to remove the trim so I have better access to the microwave to determine size etc. Three screws on top and bottom removed, but the trim plates dont come off. Might there be clips? Thank you

I was able to find an online version of your Samsung MC1015WB/BB microwave and got the exterior dimensions (20-23/64 wide x 12-13/64" tall x 20-1/8" deep) so that we can find a suitable replacement. I wasn't able to find anything on the trim kit, but having dealt with a few different it sounds like there's most likely either a strip of some double sided tape hold the pieces in place or there are smaller bracket pieces that slide into a hole and drop down a bit to lock in place. I recommend trying to pry up on the trim pieces and see if they will budge at all.

As for the replacement, I recommend the High Pointe Standard RV Microwave # HP39ZR. It has slightly smaller dimensions so it will fit the space and comes with a trim ring as well to help cover up any gaps.
