Swift Challenger Replace Microwave

[Graham U55]

I have a Swift Challenger 560 2021. The microwave stopped heating which suggests the magnetron has failed. I have sourced similar models that I can buy at a lesser rate than from Swift but I am struggling to remove the old. I can removed the panel above and the method is supposed to lift it up and out but I am finding it difficult to lift it level to get out of the cavity. I don’t want to damage the wood at the bottom. Any suggestions?

On mine, it was a case of removing removing the top panel (there are screws hidden behind stickers in the inner panels either side of the microwave).
Then pull out the wooden shelf thing that sits above the microwave (its a tight fit). Microwave then lifts up and out

Excellent that makes total sense. Thank you.

Excellent that makes total sense. Thank you.

Managed to get it out thanks. What doesn’t make sense though is the manual states the dimensions as 595x343x382 but the microwave is smaller than that and the cavity too. I am looking to buy the recommended replacement Cookology IM20LSS which also has the larger dimensions in the manual!! Totally confused

Think its going to be a case of measuring the old one, then popping down Currys and seeing if you can find something similar.

The alternative is not cheap

Spoke to Cookology. The measurements include the fascia. He said it’s the third same query this week. Don’t feel so daft now. Thanks for the reply
