Keep searches simple. Use keywords, e.g. "leaking", "pump", "broken" or "fit".
Everthing works except heating.
This is an OTR microwave oven, needs to be removed to diagnose problem. I did not diagnose problem properly, I searched online for possible causes, read that (99%)percent of the time the interlock switch was bad and replacement should solve my problem. It was also stated to be an easy fix,15- 45 minutes depending on ability. I ordered the relay switch. Took the oven down then removed outer shell. With my multimeter I began to test, fuses(2), interlock switches(3)and transformer. 3 interlock switches were ok, fuses were fine, and had power to the transformer, meter could not read output of transformer because of high voltage, (2300v). I'm down to magnetron (about a hundred bucks) or the touch pad/ circuit board. I have a countertop micro that I'm putting in place of the OTR. As far as Partselect, my item was shipped and delivered on time, instructions for changing that part was quite accurate. Would order from here again, just do my homework first.

Timer runs, but no heat.
I purchased one relay switch (there are three) took one out one by one and replced it with the new one and tested it each time until it worked. Super easy and saved me hundreds of dollars by doing this myself.

No Power to the Oven
Watching the video showed an easy, unscrew and screw back on process while connecting the wires back. It was really that simple. Once it was complete (not even 10mins), plugged it back in, and its been working great since.

Instructions did not match the assembly of the ice maker.
I managed to move the auger far enough to allow me to insert the cup-drive and then realign the auger with the new cup-drive. I also have had one to break very shortly after installing it. This is my second part to replace and this one went really smooth, since I understood that the initial parts installation instructions did not apply on my ice maker.

burnt door seal
with a schematic of the door, this was fairly easy. since we had to take it completely apart, we cleaned the glass as well and every little nook and cranny. Once we put it back together, the door looked like we just bought it. these days, with whats available online, scary jobs turn out to easy.

My wife reported that she saw flames coming up the inner wall of the microwave oven.
I noticed that the scorched and slightly melted plastic was above a little piece of what looked like cardboard, so I did a Google search for "flames in microwave" or something similar and found a link to a DIY repair site that mentioned a tear in the waveguide cover causing that problem. I ordered a replacement from PartSelect, received it in near-new condition, and replaced the old one with the new one in 5 seconds. I then called PartSelect to let them know that the new part had a couple of "wrinkles" in it that I was concerned might cause a problem down the line but that it seemed to be working OK for now. The nice person in customer service told me that I could use the part for the full year of the warranty and return it if a problem arose. I'm very satisfied with the experience!

Oven was not heating up to the set temperature. Stopped around 180-200F.
Removed 2 screws holding old temperature sensor inside the oven and gently pulled out the wire till the connector came through the hole. Disconnected old probe and attached new one. Fished the wire back in the hole and replaced the two screws. Then followed the operating instructions for calibrating the oven. Ended up setting it +5 degrees. So far, works great.

Lens cover for oven light broke.
Really a no brainer, but I do have to say that PartSelect customer service is excellent. My part was located and on it's way within a day and arrived a couple of days later.

The glass door was broken
After searching to find the right part to replace this i found this company on line. I still could not find the part so contacted them directly and the nice woman who answered found the exact part we needed. It was shipped to us in perfect condition and we did the install ourselves with the installation help that was included with the part. We are so thankful we found this company and were able to fix our broken door. Would recommend them very highly.
