Open the front cover by pushing it at the top (where it says “Push”), lifting up and pushing back on top edge of the old filter. Pull it out. Installing the new one is basically just the reverse of those steps! That simple.
Old filter did seem to be a little thicker (filter material), but the new one was the exact same dimensions, so it went in properly. Wish the filter material was white, so you knew just how dirty it was actually getting. But... :-D
1. Unplug unit 2. Open door, remove two screws above the top trim piece, slide and remove trim. 3. Remove screw behind control board and top left corner, then release from position. 3b.

Turned power off, removed screws from outer cover, opened door, slide cover off, removed screws, lifted panel open, removed electrical connections, then removed keypad panel. Removed screws for fan cover then removed cover. Saw blown fuse replaced fuse also used ohm meter to measure resistance of the thermostat it was shorted. removed screw holding it in place removed 2 connectors took out thermostat inserted new thermostat screwed in place put connectors back on. Put fan cover on put screws in, put key panel on reconnect all connections to key panel put screws in put cover on, screw in, turn power on.

While installing a filter in my brand new never been used microwave range hood combo I snapped off the top door latch with my elbow. After a few expletives I search You Tube and found it was a simple fix. I ordered a replacement latch from this site. It arrived in three days and it took 5 minutes to fix.
There are videos on YouTube on how to do this but there are a couple of things I’m going to recommend. Color code your plugs when you take the main control panel off, be patient when removing the screws on the thermal fuse use a 45 degree screwdriver but replace the screws with a small hex head self tapper screw for next time. The difference between these two lookalike fuses is that one is for the fan and the other one is the thermal there’s a price difference and volts so read the back of the bad fuse. These guys are great man and thank you for helping me out.
Ok. Surprised I was sent a damaged part. Box was intact but the aluminum frame was bent. Looks like I received a factory reject. I was able to make it fit
microwave door latch that was broken at bottom catch hook
I received replacement and followed youtube instructions to replace door latch mechanism. Very simple and only required a screw driver. works fine. Total time: less than 20 minutes. Wife and I are happy as I did not have to buy new a Microwave.
The microwave quit working, yet it had power to the plug.
I took the microwave off the wall and unplugged it, then removed the covering. Then I plugged it back in and took voltage readings at the cord terminal lugs. Then I tested the voltage after the fuse and at every point , following the wire. When I got to the upper heat sensor, which is mounted above the oven cavity, I found that the voltage readings stopped. Also, the wiring sleeve was burnt. I removed the part, then ordered it on line. After re-assembly, it worked. Nice.
Metal pegs for replacement door were not cut down to correct length
It was clear that the metal pegs that sit in the microwave frame were not cut down to the right size. The cut line was there but there was extra metal material.
I made a few trips to Loews before finally purchasing a dremel and was able to grind down the excess metal on the pegs. Once that was complete the door assembly fell right into place.
Note: You do have to take the squire plastic interior frame piece out to have extra room to fit the top peg in. Once the door locks into the frame holes just pop the plastic frame back in and your are done.
