The microwave door would not stay latched, so it wouldn't come on.
The repair was easy, I just took off a few screws and found the broken latch spring. The real story is how easy it was to find the replacement spring from Partselect! I couldn't believe they had it, and even better yet, I ordered it one afternoon, and it came the next day with normal shipping! Unbelievable! Then I just popped it in and replaced the covers I had removed and it was working again!
Really easy to attach new grill at the bottom first (saw that on another persons installation instructions) then used a Philips screwdriver to attach top of grille in the two places one at each end., not a problem 75 year old gal, If I can do it you can do it...
5 year old daughter broke the handle and door panel
Removed the three screws on the side popped the whole panel off, unscrewed the handle and used those screws for the new handle. Removed and transferred the glass panel held down with hot glue. Popped the new panel back on the door and screwed the three screws back in to hold. Took about twenty minutes.
outer door skin of microwave was cracked and breaking off.
Removed old outer door skin carefully so as not to break inner door or attached glass. 3 screws removed for new door skin and 2 screws need to be removed for the door handle that was not broke. Use same screws and replace on new door skin. Most of the new door skin snaps into place and is secured with the old screws. Easy maybe 15 min. to complete. Needed to pry old door skin off with flat head screw driver carefully.
vent plastic broken kept vent falling down on stove
remove old vent that was held in place by clips and two screws re-installed. Only problem is that should have ordered new clips was not aware that they did not come with the new vent
removed perimeter screws from the bottom side and the lower cover is hinged at the wall side. Motor is visible and easily removed with two screws. Take of the old one, install the new one, and reverse the procedure to put the bottom cover back in place. Will nee helper to hold one side of the bottom until couple of screws can be put in on the other side.
Not so sure this would qualify as "instructions", but I only needed a screwdriver because the "D" rings of the old vent filters broke off and I had to pry to old ones out. Keep in mind, I am mechanically disadvantaged and can barely change an A/C filter ... that being said, all I did for this order was input my Model number and PartSelect found the correct replacement part. I receive the parts super quick (faster than the other 2 purchases I did that day). The only bummer was the packaging ... super huge box for small tiny parts. Otherwise, I now know where to go for replacement parts. This project should be a "no-brainer" for most DYI's, so getting the right parts with just a model number was lifesaving for me :0)
