72164282300 Kenmore Microwave - Instructions

Although the repair was as simple as opening the box the plate was delivered in, it was the ease of finding the "right" part for our microwave/convection oven. Thanks to Parts Select it was as easy as the click of the mouse!

unplug the unit then pull down , lot of screws are on top. open the cover . you could see the parts that need to replace on the right hand side (heavy side). disconnect wires then test the parts that need to replace by a tester to make sure that it's really broke .then unscrew part and replace .

Problem was a faulty door latch switch. I easily accessed the switch by removing the control panel, total of 4 screws. After that, just disconnected the three switch door latch assembly and connected the new one. Took about half an hour and was very easy. Unit works perfectly now.

Lifted up the glass plate and stuck the assembly under it ;)

I love this microwave...but occasionally someone puts something in it that melts the glass plate. It takes about 2 minutes to find it on the site and order it...wait a few days...and then a second to put it in. It's great to continue to be able to buy things like this at a reasonable price and to keep good appliances going.
