66561659102 Kenmore Microwave - Instructions

Opened door and put new plate in.

Placed order on Thursday evening and received Sat Am

The top of the handle was fine and the screws that held it in place are totally accested from inside the door(2 screws).The bottom 2 screws are 'hidden' by the inside of the door. You don't have to remove the door itself(unless you want to), but you do have to remove the inner door panels (there is a black band between the 2 white door pieces) to access the 2 remiaining screws. I found that a putty knife was a good tool to use. Work from the hinge part of the door to the handle end. The top was easier than the bottom? Once the back is loose enight to access the bottom screws you are basically done. Screw in the new handle with the old screws(hope you didn't thro them away). Reassemble the back(inside) of the door. Just put the black band on the glass portion and push back together.

Unplug appliance. Remove total of 7 phillips screws from sides and front of bottom panel . Panel front drops down, remove one socket screw and socket. Now have access for lineman' s pliers to unscrew bulb base. Reinstall socket, replace bulb and 7 panel screws. Restore power.

Removed one screw lowered glass cover removed burned out bulb replaced with new one put glass back reinstalled screw. Dune 5 minutes back in business

Ordered a new motor. Removed the outside trim of the oven-microwave combo. 2 screws at the bottom of the trim. Removed the screws that held the combination micro and oven unit in place. Removed the top and bottom black plastic grill of the microwave. 3 screws each. Pulled the entire unit out about 1 inch exposing the screws at each side of the microwave that hold it in place.
Snapped off the top control panel which exposed the wiring connecting the control panel.
Unplugged a couple of wire harness units to free the control panel.
Be sure to label the units to know which goes where during reassembly.
Remove the microwave unit from the housing and place it on its side.
Remove the metal plate that houses the motor. 4 screws hold the motor in place. Disconnect the 2 wires from the old motor and you are ready to install the new motor. Be sure to TURN OFF THE POWER to the unit at the breaker box and remove the turntable from inside the microwave.

First, we had to clean up all the interior surfaces, which was just cleaning. There was no internal damage. Then, just setting the center connector, rotary rollers and glass plate. Simple

Took out turntable and swapped out old one with a new bright and shiny
New one, ring that is. It was easy using the part from parts select
Thanks

used screw driver to pry up old part. lifted right off. line up drive couple drive push on. repair took less than 1 minute to repair. works like new
Very Pleased with Parts Select replacement parts

I was sent the wrong fuse by you. I had to procure a fuse in another manner. Very disappointing. The repair was simple. It just took longer because of the failure to send the correct fuse.

Unscrewed glass panel, removed old bulb, cleaned glass panel and installed new bulb. Screwed panel back into place.

Ordered the glass tray and installed it. Received the orderin about two days.

Took out the turntable parts to ensure I ordered the correct cooking tray. Matching those with photos of related parts on PartSelect worked great. Put turntable drive and support ring in place and cooking tray went in very easily. Plan to order a second one to have on hand for this rental property.

replaced with new one

Had to remove front panel to get at bottom screw. That was not explained in instructions how to pull panel. Once it was removed easy to replace handle.

Glass plate arrived in less than two days. Placed the glass plate in Microwave and presto the microwave works like a charm.
