The PO of our 2002 Class C Tioga removed the microwave, added an unsightly shelf, and put in a smaller countertop microwave. Turns out the original Samsung microwave has been out of production for many years.

I have spent hours online trying to find a replacement but haven't had any luck.

I need a 24" wide, over the range, black microwave. Anyone have a source?

Convection, conventional, depth, height, hinge?
Reason I ask about hinge, I replaced a Whirlpool with another. The issue: the old micro hinged so that the door stayed flush with the LH edge of the micro. The new one didn't and there was a wall there so no matter how deep it was, it hit the wall. A new Samsung fixed it.

Lowe's didn't give anything.

Wow you found one. But it isn't an over the range (there's no exhaust fan) or black.

Conventional - don't want a vent involved.
Depth - 19 max
Height - 15 max
Hinge - shouldn't be an issue so any hinge

All I did was measure the opening and go to WM and pick out 2 or 3 units that would fit. Took them home and tried each out. Which ever was the best fit I kept the rest I returned. Made brackets and cut out a vent hole underneath the shelf.

Oh it was in the OTR section.

WM only has 1 online and it's the standard 30". Still looking.

just for closure in case anyone was wondering:

I could not find a 24" over the range microwave. The only solution seems to be to get a 24" built in, then install a 24" range hood under it.
