microwave dead. How to remove? Backs up to bulkhead in cockpit locker, but would have to cut big hole in bulkhead. Bright work trim does not appear to be designed to remove. 3 screws in panel but seems to be a varnished in bung I would not want to remove without being sure that would do it

Maybe where the rubber feet would be, it is bolted up from below, using the feet holes?

That is a good suggestion. The refrigeration unit in the ice box is directly below, but that has gone bad and needs to be replaced. So that might be the key. Will look.

I have what looks like the same one in white ,however if you look at my media pics you can see space above it . If you open the door and lift can you not lift the feet above the bottom rail, I can on mine

Going to call Beneteau tomorrow. Looks like disassembling the cabinetry is only wat to remove.

If you don't get a response from them, your setup looks the same as on mine(The same cabinet). I replaced the stock Microwave with some force. The Microwave had several pads of double sided tape applied to the bottom. Mine was not screwed down.

Also there is an internal fuse that can be replaced. I tried that and it worked for a few more days and then blew again.

Just a thought.

Good Luck
