The HMD8053UC was an earlier 800 Series 30 inch drawer microwave, 1.2 cubic feet at 1,500 watts, without Home Connect. Drawer microwaves are one of the harder appliance types to replace because they are built into a cabinet opening with a specific height, width and depth, and because the drawer front becomes part of the kitchen’s visual line. Repairing a drawer mechanism is very often cheaper than the cabinetry consequences of changing the appliance.
