fvrs7189 Report post Posted June 19, 2022 (edited) I have an older Fleetwood Fiesta 34B with a full size over the range microwave. Something in the door has broken and will not stay shut. I cannot get replacement parts for my Sunbeam apparently (or can't find them). It is a Sunbeam SNM1501RAB. The issue is when I look at the manual for the Sunbeam, it shows that the mounting bracket is a "hanger" style where there are two arms that insert into the top of the microwave and then secure there. All of the newer style microwaves appear to have a bracket that attaches to the lower part of the microwaves and then bolt in from the cabinet. I do not know what is behind the wall since I would be replacing the bracket. First does anyone know if there is a current microwave that uses the older style hanging bracket. I have attached a picture of the bracket from the manual. I am sure there is some reinforcement in the wall where the current bracket is. Has anyone replaced their microwave having one of the old hangers and used the newer style? Any help would be appreciated/ Edited June 19, 2022 by fvrs7189 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildebill308 Report post Posted June 19, 2022 I have replaced a couple microwave's now and I would get the dimensions for the old one and go shopping. My last one was replaced with the exact make model and the brackets were different. All the ones I have messed with had a much different mounting bracket. They have a channel on the bottom of the back wall that the lip on the back/bottom of the microwave. You hook that up and rotate the microwave up. There are usually a couple of long screws/bolts that come down through the cabinet in the front to hold the MW up. You might look at upgrading to a convection/microwave while you are at it.
