David, Ours is a Fridgidaire also. There really is no way to tell if the vent hole is cut in the proper place through the wall without removing the microwave except to take off the vent cover outside and I would'nt do that. The only reason we stayed with the fridgidair is because we could get the exact same size as the original. the replacement was easy. Three bolts thru the top, tilt out on top and lift it off the lower bracket. The same bracket can be used to install the new one. Bolt holes line up. Done. On ours they actually nailed the rear vent guide to the wall because if it were slid into the bracets on the rear of the micro it could'nt be lined up to fit the mis-cut hole in the wall. That unit weighs 63 lbs. you'll need help. DW and I did ours.
