66560619000 Kenmore Microwave - Instructions

Very easy to change,I remove 3 sctrews and inside choke when out I put the 2 screws from handle and back to the same place ,finish . I read that it was very difficult but that is not

Took the replacement plate out of the box and put it in the microwave in seconds. I never realized how much of a difference having the correct microwave plate would make. It's great to have it back.

replaced it

My husband just installed the mounting plate on the wall and the microwave was placed in position and mounted in less than 5 minutes.

Problem was easily diagnosed using the internet as a resource, problem was a bad stirrer motor. Hardest part of the repair was the removal of the microwave. Once off the wall, you remove the outer cover and a molded plastic casing directly underneath the outer cover at the top of hte microwave to expose the stirrer motor. Removed two screws and two wires and the old motor is out. Did exactly the opposite to install the new motor. The kit I recvd included among other things the motor, a new inside cover, plastic rivets and even silicone to seal the inside cover. I am sure I saved a couple hundred dollars by doing myself.

You had alerted that it was imperative to unplug unit before starting to remove defective bulb. As described, there was silicon on bulb and socket and bulb broke upon my attempt to remove. Had to use needle nose pliers to get metal base of old bulb from socket, then all went well.

New part was a little difficult to insert: had to push up the frame of the microwave.

It was supposed to be a very easy replacement, but when inserted the legs in the bottom openings, the legs at the top didn't enter the opening.If insert first the top legs then the bottom legs could not go in. Tried to put a little force when turning grill to enter the top legs with the screws support. Finally very carefully put first the top legs, entering horizontally, and then giving a little push (forcing) the bottom legs in. This was not supposed to be this way, because I could had brake the bottom legs clip.

Used a screw driver

The lady in the Nova Scotia call center should get all the credit for being able to identify the part I needed from only the very limited information I was able to give her. Employee of the month for her. She also had such a great can do attitude. Lawence Baier

Well, to get to the screws for the handle, the door "choke" had to be removed, which was difficult, until I read that you need a putty knife. But I had already tried to take the old one off, and it was brittle & cracked, so I also had to purchase the "choke"/frame. Once the parts arrived (within 3 days!), installing them was easy, but then I had a problem with the door. It wouldn't shut correctly, which made the microwave shut off intermittently during use. So I had to determine which of the latch catches had the sensor. (It was the top one.) I tried adjusting it without any disassembly, but it fell out & down inside the oven. So I figured out how to get that part of the oven open. I had to remove the upper grill and the touch panel. Once those were out, it was easy to retrieve the latch catch & install it correctly. I reassembled the oven, and now everything works fine. This oven was manufactured for Sears by Whirlpool over-14 years ago, and has been very reliable, so I'm not complaining. Interestingly, I looked at new microwaves and found a Maytag model (also made by Whirlpool) almost identical to the one I have. I examined it and found that the door, touch panel and grill are almost identical and use the same parts as mine!

Ordered the item on a Monday at 12pm and it arrived the next day. Amazing!

Total time to replace was 10 minutes, this included unpacking the new vent. Simple to install with 2 set screws on the top of the unit.

just replace need cooking tray

First let me say that I tried several places to get what I thought was a simple light bulb. This included several national hardware stores as well as a national electrical supply company. No luck. Went to the manual and PartSelect. Not only did you have it in stock, ship right away,at a reasonable price it arrived in a matter of days. One would not normally think of receiving a "how to" video to change a light bulb but you did. That impressed me. Suffice to say the replacement went well and you can be certain the next time I need a part I will go to you first. I am also impressed with the organizations with which you are affiliated with. BBB, Norton, PayPal, money back guarantee etc. Thank You The entire process was made pleasant with your support.
