The unit would run when the door was open!

First I had to accept the fact that the unit was designed to keep non-professional people from doing any repairs. The switch was installed in such a manner that I had to break the mounting to remove the switch, then drill a hole in the mounting to secure the new switch in place.

light bulb burned out

Remove the top of the microwave, regular phillips screws on sides, torque screws on back. Lift up back and slide off cover. Light bulb socket is easily detached and bulb unplugged and replaced. Slide cover from back lifted slightly so lip will slide into front of microwave, than replace screws. Be sure to unplug microwave before you start.

The door glass was broken.

It was very simple since I ordered the door assembly. All that had to be done was pry two plastic tabs over and lift the door off the hinges to remove. To install, just line up the pivot pins and push down. Ready for popcorn, could not be any easier.
