You are correct. My estimate was based on a built-in microwave, not an over-the-range type. But you still need to add installation, haul away and sales tax to the basic cost. This adds about $300. Most people are not capable of installing an over-the-range microwave. I still think it is worth getting a quote to repair it, especially if it only needs a new fan.
