Posts: 2,210	Removing a GE Profile space makerXL 1800 microwave Is this one of the units that has an air exhaust grill over the door? If so, remove the grill and there should be two (2) screws behind the grill which go to the mounting plate on the wall behind the oven. Again, IF it has these screws, be careful when removing them, they hold the oven to the wall. I recommend two people on this: while someone holds the unit, unscrew/remove the long screws, then the two of you lift the oven slightly and remove the unit. Hopefully that's the problem. Good Luck, David
