PartSelect had helpful repair instructions on-line which made the repair easier and faster. Unfortunately, there were other problems with the oven that immediately blew the new fuse I had just installed. It was then determined that additional repair would most likely cost almost as much as a new microwave.

I'm in the 1% it wasn't the motor. There's a small amount of voltage going to the motor

My husband simply unscrewed the front of the vent, pulled out the old filter and slid the new one in. After cover was washed and dried, he screwed the cover back on and Voila!The vent fan is much quieter now and it clears the air quickly when it is in use.

Remove light cover. Replace bulbs Note. Light bulbs are 40W,Too much heat for bulbs & sockets

Diconnected power to microwave.Removed screws from under microwave. 6 plus center screw. removed 2 screws at drive motor and power source to drive. replaced same in reverse. piece of cake.

Took screw holding lens cover out, dropped cover down, unscrewed old bulb, screwed new bulb in socket. Screwed cover back in place. This is the third bulb in this socket, the other bulb is original.

Others said just push new coupler into hole where broken one was. This does not work. You have to take the underside of the micro to access the motor that drives the coupler. There is a screw holding the motor in. Take out screw and twist the motor to release it from holding slot. Then put coupler in hole and reattach motor. You may have to twist the motor to seat the coupler. Twist motor to replace in slot and then attach screw to hold motor in. Reattach under side. Fairly simple. Do not force the coupler into the hole without taking motor off first.

great correct part thanks

Simply inserted new part on drive and taped in dow with a driver and small hammer. Thanks for your prompt responce in shipping the part. Barry R Moyer

Easy as can be. Removed one screw on the glass cover, removed two burned out bulbs and reinstalled two new bulbs, reinstalled the cover and all is well now. The best part - my 'supervisor' is happy that she can see to cook again!

Because the microwave is old and the bulbs, I believe, had never been changed I carefully tried to unscrew the bulb. However, when I went to unscrew the bulbs the end of the bulb broke off and remained in the socket. I used a few different tools then remembered that sometimes a raw potatoe can be used to unscrew the remainder of the bulb, but to no avail. Finally had to unscrew the whole underside of the microwave to remove the broken bulb. May I suggest that you have the socket face away from the wall to screw in the bulb instead of the socket pointing toward the wall. You need to know yoga just to manuver the bulb into the socket.

Turn off main power bracker. Removed fan vent, removed control panel, disconnect leads to the three monitor switches. Replaced the secondary switch (top). Reversed procedures.
