After a LONG wait, the replacement nuker is here. I got it installed in 30 minutes (instructions said 1-3 hours for advanced skill people)... and then... the damn trim piece won't let the door open. A lot of reviews from 2003 or older said this was an issue, but none of the newer reviews did... so I figured they fixed the issue... oh well, time to ask for a discount and tey and figure out which unpacked box my dremel is in so I can deconflict the rubbing.
I did check all my measurements and there's no room for adjustment.
What a giant pain... cut off all the plastic on the door opening side, still had to sand down to the metal facia. Even then it was still rubbing. The mounting plate on the bottom was level but the bolt on feet for the nuker kit are unlevel by about 1/4 inch... so shimmed that to bring it to about 1/16th couldnt get it perfectly level without cutting the cabinets.
Anyway. It works now.
Here you can kinda see how the mounting rails are NOT level
Geesh! Well, glad to hear you got it fit properly. This seems like more of an engineering project than a carpentry project. Which is what about half my home projects turn into. Looks great, glad it fits, and hopefully, the next oven will slide right in (if you ever need to!).
dpearce engineering is fun when you suck at math, but I did pavement work for a couple decades and always figured it out... If this hadn't worked we would have hired someone to cut the cabinets but I was trying to avoid that and thankfully I did. I gave GE an earful I'll be shocked if they compensate me in any form, but who knows.
But in the end, it's done.
