MH7140XFQ0 Whirlpool Microwave - Instructions

It was a bit awkward because the microwave is mounted over my stove. I had to twist around and install the bulb and then replace the cover. It was a bit uncomfortable. It took me about 10 minutes to complete.

Take off top facing over microwave using screwdriver also protection plate for diode and capaitor. Disconnect diode from frame, bracket to capacitor then remove, disconnect wires leaving diode on capacitor for right connection, replace, rewire done.

Piece of cake. One screw to release the dropdown light diffuser. Just remember, the you're screwing the new bulb in from a reverse perspective. Also this site sends the correct part the first time.

Purchase a new door frame it arrived and I unwrapped it. I remove 3 srews from the end of the door and pryed up and the old frame came off. Be careful to watch the glass does not fall out. Remove handle by removing 2 screws and put on new door frame. Remove glass and put in new door frame. Then I carefully pressed it back on the inside door frame and replaced screws. Complete, very easy.

Unscrewed the remaining pieces of bracket slipped in new vent cover and attached with the two screws. Very easy since the web site showed where the vent attached. I saved over $60.00 doing this repair myself!

I removed the two screws and took off the old grill. Snapped the new grill in place and replaced the screws. This model was not shown on the list but the part fit just fine. The part arrived in 2 days! I ordered the white one and at first didn't think it matched .. maybe my microwave was bisque or almond .. but after 15 minutes of scrubbing I realized it was white but just real dirty .. lol. Now the door opens without the grill falling off. Easy fix.

I didn't have to remove the old cover since it cracked and fell off the microwave already. I simply snapped in the new vent cover, screwed in the 2 screws and I was done. Super easy.

just matched the holes for the screws after remove them from the microwave, then applied the new grill and put the screws in place again DONE

The most difficult part of the repair was getting the handle removed from the door because we saw that the handle had a front face and mistakenly thought that had to come off before the door frame could be removed. Tenants had glued up the entire frame and handle making it even more difficult. Removing the original glass was made a little more difficult because of their added glue. Once assembly of the new door started, it was easy to flex the door frame and the glass slipped right into the tabs. If we had a good handle, that would be a quick assembly to attach next. Then hanging it on the metal door frame with the three original screws would be quick and easy.

-leave door attached to microwave.

-remove three phillps screws from end of door next to handle.

-use two flathead screw drivers to pry apart the outside cover and unsnap the two sections of the door. Start in the top middle.

-use phillips screw driver to remove two screws holding handle on.

--handle has an up and down side, attach longer side to the top of the door.

-snap two door pieces back together.

Removed the microwave from above the oven by loosening the two screws above the microwave. As the unit tilted outward lifted up and the whole unit came out all the time feeding the power cord through the cutout for the power cord. After it was out removed the cover and identified the capacitor and made sure it was discharged and removed and replaced the diode. tested before reinstalling and it heated up just fine. Reversed order and reinstalled . Very easy job maybe a second hand to help fish the power cord when installing and removing.

Put s pot under were you take the screw out.If you drop it you can get it easy

Remove “over the stove” unit. Remove unit shell case. Unscrew and disconnect diode. Replace diode. Re-assemble. Put unit back in place.

Really easy for a 75-year old female; just spent more time reading the online manual than actually installing the light bulbs to find out where to access the light bulbs.
