microwave oven blew fuse
First I removed upper front grill by removing two Philips head screws on top and pulling off. This exposed the Philips head screw which holds control panel in place. After removing screw I pushed up on panel and it came off to expose fuse. With needle nose pliers I removed old fuse and again with pliers held new fuse in position. With the help of a bladed screwdriver, I pushed new fuse into holder, then replaced panel, screw and grill. This took less than 15 minutes even as one of the wires on control panel pulled out of connection and took some time to locate where to reconnect, otherwise was an easy fix

Oven element burnt out and broke apart.
After ordering the element, found out it was the wrong element, I needed an 18.5 inch x 15.5 instead of the 15 1/4 x 15 1/2"...I slowly bent the element in shape to fit my oven. It works beautiful.
But for you guys, order the right one. Don't forget to measure your old elements spread from connection to connection. Install the new element and then test to be sure it works proper.

Died while heating lasagna
Removed 4 small star head screws from back of microwave, lifted body off, removed blown fuse and replaced with new one (found where cord enters). This model is stainless inside and out and I like it a lot. It is also sold by Daewoo and a few other manufacturers.

Microwave went pop and nothing would work.
I mistakenly thought I had to remove the microwave to get to the back, not so. I would have had access to what I needed to unscrew; but I have to admit the hassle of taking it down and putting it back equals having to work on it attached to the shelf-your call on how you do this. I unscrewed the front top to remove the vent piece that is across the top front of the microwave. This will reveal the control panel screw. (While you have the vent removed you might want to clean the vent and the exposed filter.) carefully lift and pull out control panel. I unplugged a piece as the wires were tied tight. It will not completely detach, so carefully tip it back from exposed insides. The fuse is not clear but white with silver ends so look in upper right for it. I popped it out and replaced it. Replugged the wired part to cover and carefully fit tabs in and slide down to secre. Replace screw, replace vent piece and secure screws on top of microwave. I plugged it in to test before putting it back above my stove.

Heating element burned out...forcing me to replace it.
Our oven is a wall mounted oven so I could not reach the plugin. Therefore I shut the power off at our breaker box. I then removed the screws that held the old heating element to the oven. Removed the element, slipped connecting wires off of the old element. Next I slipped the connector wires onto the new element and replaced the screws. Turned the power back and and checked to see if oven worked. It did! As you can tell I am a novice at home repair but this worked perfectly!

Element burned up
On the Saturday before Christmas, during some baking, my heating element we out of my oven! Since I was cooking Christmas dinner at my house on Thursday, I freaked out. Fortunately, we got on the interenet, ordered a new element, paid for 2-3 day shipping, and received it on Wed. afternoon. My husband unscrewed the old element, and put the new one in about 5 minutes. Very easy job, and Christmas was a total success!

light wont come on
Well, when you put the back cover on and screw it down make sure you have nothing touching the white wire leading to the oven light. I did and it blew the push switch when I threw the 220 breaker. Actually, the light was on when I came in the room, but when I pushed the switch on the front panel it sparked in the rear and popped the breaker. Then I saw the short and when I tested the switch it would not click. The install was fine.

No power to any microwave functions
Access is via RT. SIDE Panel as you face microwave. There are three screws on the bottom right edge to loosen. After that the side panel slips down and off. the fuse is located in the rear near where the power cord comes in. It is the white ceramic tube 1/4" in dia. and 1-1/2" long. Pull it out like any fuse and replace with new one. Reassemble and you are done!

Heating element in electric oven went out.
Repairmen all wanted a pretty penny to fix the problem, basically buying a new oven would have been cheaper. I ordered the heating element I needed. Once it arrived I took it out of the box and handed it and screw driver to my Son-in-law and as he stood there with a dumb founded look I told him “replace the old with the new one or I will never cook for you again”. Boy did he do the work in a flash, it was easy peasy. I didn’t even break a sweat. I hope this is helpful to your other customers.
