no!

you can only use it over your range.

if you don't have a range, you need to go buy one. it can be used - in fact it doesn't even need to work.

It just needs to be there.

We don't know exactly how the microwave knows theres a range there - but it won't work unless it senses one.

Perhaps it's the range sensor - located next to the lightbulb.

If you remove the range sensor - then you may in fact be able to use your microwave on your counter top.

There are many parts supply centers online that can sell you a countertop sensor that will override your range sensor.

Either way - good luck!!!

Depending on model, they may vent from the bottom and since they do not have legs or the rubber feet that a counter top would have it may be a problem.. Feet are available and there may be a place to screw them on. If not, if screws just long enough to go through the foot and just into the bottom of the microwave cabinet, you probably wouldn't hit anything.

Over the range microwaves are specifically designed to withstand heat from the bottom. Depending on your configuration, you can also add a fan and additional layer of protection to the bottom of the microwave. One thing you wouldn't want to do is use a table-top one and rig it somehow to be over the oven.

What is the frequency range of a microwave?

The "microwave" range of radio waves is defined as frequencies between 3 - 300 GHz. But the question says " a " microwave, so we suspect it's talking about the box you use to heat the leftover meat loaf. The microwave oven operates in the Industrial/Scientific/Medical frequency band, at or near 2,450 MHz. (So, technically, it isn't a 'microwave' at all, since that frequency is below the range defined as 'microwave'. Guess it should be called a "UHF Oven".)

Can you use over the stove microwave on a counter?

It is physically possible to use a microwave oven on the counter that is meant to be mounted but, depending on the design of the unit it could be unsafe, unstable or undesirable. A vent might be covered up preventing proper cooling of internal parts or the unit may not sit level which will cause the food to slide to the back, front or side during cooking. Some units could even allow access to parts that would be covered when properly mounted.

Exploring Whirlpool Microwave Oven Choices?

Microwaves are part of the line of cooking appliances offered by Whirlpool. Whether it is for counter top use, an oven combination, or above the range, there is the right type of microwave for any kitchen layout. The stand alone counter top microwaves are the most affordable options, as they have minimum power ratings and limited capacity. However, the best advantage of this type of microwave is portability. The microwave/oven combo is the most expensive choice and it is designed for cooking large portions. With several cubic feet of total cooking space, the combo unit can be used to quickly prepare an entire meal for the whole family.
