Original vent grille clips broke off, so the grille would not stay on.
Just installed the new grille in place of the old one. (That is after I received the correct one, since I initially ordered a white one which definitely did not go with my stainless microwave!)
Dropped the glass cooking tray and it broke in half
Looked up the Whirlpool Co. and ordered the part. It was quite simple. Arrived in 2 days and I simply placed it in the microware. It was very very easy!
The old coupling melted and the tray cracked in half.
It took me 15 minutes total - 5 minutes to clean the microwave, 1 minute to install three new parts, and 9 minutes to enjoy my celebratory glass of wine!
Very simple just fit in the groves and snaped it in. I had ordered 1 from another Compaany that would not fit and was almost twice the price, got my money back but had to pay shipping Will use partSelect.com for any other parts.
Unplug the microwave. Then remove the six screws that hold the lower panel which has the light bulb cover and a couple of vent filters. The light bulb sockets are on a fixture that is connected by a quick connect electrical connector. Disconnect that and the whole panel is free to access the bulbs. My bulbs were very fragile and trying to twist them out resulted in the glass twisitng loose with the base still in the sockets. I needed to use a needle nose pliers to remove the bases and then I replaced the bulbs and put every thing back together
Very unusual. we had a brief fire inside the microwave which destroyed all the moving rotary parts.
First, we had to clean up all the interior surfaces, which was just cleaning. There was no internal damage. Then, just setting the center connector, rotary rollers and glass plate. Simple
Over range microwave vent grille fell off. No clips attached.
Ordered new grille in hopes it would have clips attached as none were on old grille. Kept my fingers crossed that new grille would just snap back on. It did. No tools required.
