Microwave.

The microwave turntable is not turning in our Elddis Avante 462. How easy is it to fix or replace the microwave?

Not that difficult if you are prepared to give it a whirl. This video will help as it could be one of a number of causes.

Very easy to buy a microwave from any major high street restailer that fits your cupboard. And cheap.

Thanks other Clive. Brilliant video. JezzerB, I have found a microwave that fits but I don't know how to get the old one out because of the trim around the outside. I'm not sure how to remove it without breaking it, there are no visible clips.

Mine just pulls off but yours might be different

Interesting video I made a note of it in case our microwave decides to play up

Thanks for that. Not sure I want to take the chance 🤔

Am sure it'll be on Google somewhere.

Did you buy the caravan from a dealer ask them how the trim comes off around the microwave or where you have it service they should know

 

[JezzerB]

Have a look around the microwave housing underneath and beside it-or above it-somewhere there will probably be screws hidden by adhesive stickers to take the trim off and allow you to remove the microwave but there are plenty of youtube videos if you google search how to remove my elddis caravan microwave and then just source one that fits-they are plug in via 13 amp household socket.

Here’s mine. Note the two screws on the underside

On Swift caravans, for example, there is a removable piece of trim screwed in place above the microwave front. Remove this and the oven can lift up an inch and then slide out. (The removable piece stops the oven accidentally jumping up when travelling). If I were you, I would take the oven out first before you decide whether to attempt a repair or replace it. You will then be able to check the dimensions and any special fittings. For Swift caravans for example, there are 4 rubber spigots on the base of the oven which have to locate in metal brackets.

Thanks everyone for great advice. I've just been to have a look at the housing and I can't see any screws inside and outside. I think I might just leave it to the experts. I don't want to break anything.

Might be better the experts will have it off in two minutes
