    Mic/Range Hood Fan Retrofit?
    Hi-
    Wondering if I can retrofit the fan for a bigger CFM i.e. 600CFM
    Instead of the existing (300CFM) that comes with the
    Frigidaire Range Hood/ Microwave combo model: PLMV169DC

    Or even if this is possible?

    Thank you for your time! ;)

    I am sure it will work if you can find the correct motor that will fit and have the correct rotation. You might also look into getting a new fan blade that will also allow the extra power to be applied properly.

Range Hood Microwave install [ 1 Answers ]

Hi, I am replacing a standard range hood with a microwave and have a problem. I agree that it was way to low, so I took a few inches off the cabinet and it seems to be an OK height, but it is deeper than the cabinets so it sticks out and blocks the range top. I only need a few inches. ...
