66562612300 Kenmore Microwave - Instructions

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

-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.

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

Used a phillips screwdriver to remove 4 retaining screws located on the top leading edge of the unit, just above the door. Note the screws on the far left and far right are shorter than the middle two. After removing and cleaning the plastic vent, the small, square charcoal filter is revealed in the center, and is easily removed (noting its installation position first!). Take advantage of the opportunity to thoroughly clean the inside using a cloth soaked in degreaser before replacing the filter, the vent, and the 4 screws.

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.

Don't waste your time with other parts stores online. Partselect sells quality parts and they arrived 2 days early. I purchase a door switch from another online store and the switch was defective.

Removed the old vent grill by removing the two screws and put in the new one.

Removed the two screws hlolding the old vent in place. Discarded the old vent. Snapped the new vent in place and attached with the two screws previously removed.

I was able to buy the mounting bracket for a very cheap price and was able to instill it in my kitchen with ease.
