66568601891 Kenmore Microwave - Instructions

The installation was very easy. But I was most amazed by how quickly the part arrived. I ordered it online late in the afternoon and it was delivered in the morning on the NEXT DAY!

The problem I have with changing the bulb is my microwave is an overhead one and therefore I cannot tip it on its side to easily replace the bulb. I have to drop the lid down and carefully install the new bulb from underneath.

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.

old grill was already off. I snapped in the new grill and inserted the mounting screws. tha was it. it fit perfect.

just replaced the filters

With a phillips head screwdriver I removed the screws, which were screwed to the then non-existent grille, at the top of the grille holder, GENTLY popped the new grill into place and replaced the screws. It took about five minutes. As a housewife, I feel that doing these little repair jobs around the house saves my husband time and aggravation. It was all very simple, and I got the ordered part in two days. Fabulous!

Removed the glass cover and replaced the bulb. Very simple.

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

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
