The grill-vent broke and the grease filters needed to be replaced.

I simply placed the grill-vent in hood area, pulled out the dirty grease filters and slid in the replacement ones.

Grill cracked and broke in half

Purchased new part online. Partselect parts list indicated 3 different part numbers with no other distinction. As a result, I accidentally ordered the wrong color. I had to mail the part back and reorder. Partselect should correct their parts lists to indicate the color of the part.
Once I had the right part, installation was simple.

light bult needed to be replaced

The nightmare was that this microwave is installed under the cabinet....in order to get to the light bulb I had to pull out my stove then squeeze into the space between the stove and counter....my old microwave light bult was much easier to change.....Shame on Whirlpool for making this so difficult.....must be a better way to cover the light bulb so that we do not need a screwdriver to remove the door to get to the light bulb

Parts Used:

Light Bulb - 40W

Whenever touched, the grill fell to the floor.

Stood on a step stool so as to be tall enough to see all the places that the top edge and bottom edge must mesh, then pressed into place,

previous grill vent broke

removed the holder screw and reshaped the holder and installed the vent grill to the microwave. The design appears to be a poor one which allows breakage.

The vent grille that sits above the microwave started coming off. Upon inspection, one of the clips had broken.

When we received the vent grille, my husband popped it back on within 5 seconds . . . it was that easy! It took more time to get the part out of the shipped box than it took to put it on. Make sure you get the correct part and color, though. I didn't get the correct color and had to ship it back (my fault so I had to pay the shipping costs again, plus the shipping cost to get a correct part). If you have any questions when ordering, just call them -- they are the nicest people to deal with. All in all, this was an excellent experience!

Glass microwave turntable shattered while taken out for a cleaning.

PartSelect had the turntable I needed at the best price. Ordering was easy, but best of all, the part was delivered next day. I was able to insert the new turntable plate into the microwave and it was good as new.
