As we mentioned before, Samsung microwave mounting brackets are not all the same. They vary depending on the size and shape of the microwave. So, how do you know which bracket is for which microwave?

The easiest way to find out is to check the model number of your microwave and look for the corresponding bracket part number. You can usually find the model number on a label inside or behind your microwave. You can also check the manual or the packaging of your microwave.

Once you have the model number, you can search for the bracket part number online or contact Samsung for assistance. You can also use some of these websites that sell Samsung microwave parts and have a list of compatible models for each bracket:

  • Samsung Parts
  • Amazon
  • Appliance Parts Pros

For example, if you have a Samsung 1.1 cu. ft. Smart SLIM Over-the-Range Microwave with 550 CFM Hood Ventilation, Wi-Fi & Voice Control in Stainless Steel (model ME11A7710DS/AA), you can search for its bracket part number and find out that it is DE70-00561A.

Here are some examples of Samsung microwaves and their bracket part numbers:

  • Samsung 2.1 cu. ft. Over-the-Range Microwave with PowerGrill Duo in Fingerprint Resistant Black Stainless Steel (model ME21K7010DG/AA): DE70-00561A

I always do this when I buy a new Samsung microwave or replace an old one. I love how easy it is to find the right bracket for my microwave and how it fits perfectly and securely on my wall. I also love how my Samsung microwave looks sleek and stylish above my range and how it saves space on my countertop.

  • Prepare the area: You need to clear the area where you want to install your microwave and make sure there is enough space for it. You also need to locate the wall studs behind the wall and mark their positions with a pencil or tape. You also need to locate the electrical outlet and make sure it is compatible with your microwave’s plug.
  • Prepare the microwave: You need to unpack your microwave and check if it has any damage or missing parts. You also need to remove any packing materials from inside and outside the microwave. You also need to attach the exhaust adapter to the back of the microwave if you want to vent it outside.
  • Install the mounting bracket: You need to use the templates that come with your microwave to mark where to drill holes for the screws on the wall. You also need to drill holes for the power cord if you want to route it through the wall. Then, you need to align the mounting bracket with the holes and secure it with screws.
  • Install the microwave: You need to lift your microwave and hook it onto the tabs of the mounting bracket. You also need to tilt it forward slightly and insert two screws through the top cabinet into the top of the microwave. You also need to plug in your power cord and connect it to the outlet. Then, you need to check if your microwave is level and secure.
  • Test the microwave: You need to turn on your microwave and test if it works properly. You also need to test if the ventilation system is working and if there is any air leakage. You also need to test if the light and the control panel are working. If you encounter any problems, you need to troubleshoot them or contact Samsung for assistance.
