How do you remove a Sharp microwave/convection oven?

[Eric]

Well the two screws above the microwave are "sucker screws", probably properly
called safety screws. The two screws above the microwave only will be loaded if
the bracket in the back fails.

So to get the microwave out (on my bus):
-remove the cabinet above the microwave.
-remove the liner on the sides of cabinet above the mw.
-remove the two looong safety screws above the mw.
-DO NOT TRY TO REMOVE THE COVER IN THE FRONT AT THE TOP. You will break it and
it doesn't help anything except to see one of the long screws.
-unplug the mw. (behind the liner, next to one of the long screws.)
-put a couple of cases of water or soda on top of the stove to catch the front
of the mw when you release it.
-remove the two knurled screws at the bottom rear of the mw.
-holding the front up, take a screwdriver and slide it under the tab (on both
sides) that is secured by the knurled screws at the rear of the mw. Move both
tabs down about 1/2". BINGO: mw is free.
-lift the rear of the mw off the channel in the bottom rear.

I took my microwave apart and found my particular problem was just a 15 amp ABC
Littlefuse that had blown.

Unless your going to toss your mw out, remove the front upper grill and clean
the dirt out of the area and clean/replace the carbon filter. I choose to put
the upper grill back on with one screw through the grill so I can remove the
grill in the future without pulling the mw.

After reviewing different mw's I certainly would have replaced it with a Sharp,
even though other mw's are possibly quieter.
