First, be sure you get the rivet in case you need it. Mine was melted and that was not obvious at first glance. The cover was melted and sagging down and that couldn't be missed!
Use your fingernail to get under the rivet head and just pop it off. Twist the cover a littl ... Read more e and it comes off, along with the fan. That was a surprise. Be gentle with the fan.
Put this fan inside the new cover, put the cover in place using the cover feet for alignment and put the rivet back to hold it in place.
The rivet comes with a socket to go on the inside of the cover. Remove the socket and put in into the chasis, install the cover, and pop the pin in place. Takes almost no time to do and sure looks better.

Opened mailer and bag and place the drain plug into the drain. fit perfectly. In fact it is better than the one lost since the original needed a screwdriver or tool to remove the plug. This one has a flang or finger turner on it so that it can be removed. Also, does not interfere with items in bottom of freezer.

It didn't work. It was too large. I need a glass tray NO LARGER than 13 1/2''. I received a 14" that was suppose to be comparable to the 13 1/2" glass tray that broke. The 14" is too large and wobbles. IF you have one that will fix my LG over the stove microwave Model # LMH 2016ST I would love to give it a try.

Removed the MW from the wall. Took the top screws off the air vent. Then removed the two screws holding on the display. I then moved the display to its side and it revealed the micro switches. I removed the plug in leads from the micro switch one at a time. I did this with all three micro switches only one at a time. I reinstalled everyth

Read the troubleshooting section on this site. Figured it was an interlock problem because the food was not getting hot (magentron not turning on) and the carousel was not turning. Did not think both the carousel motor and magnetron failed at same time, thus indicated an interlock problem. The interlock switches are actuated by the door

Unplug the microwave. Remove the Philips head and safety Torx head screws along the bottom of the sides and rear of the microwave which hold the black cover on. Lift the cover up at the rear and slide it backwards to disengage the tabs on the front top. Remove the cover. Discharge the capacitor by shorting the terminals to each other

and then ground. Do this with a well insulated object and be aware there may be a pop when you do this. Keep hands, etc. on the insulated part of the object (screwdriver handle, etc). There's a lot of stored energy in that capacitor. I'd advise first checking the diode to make sure its not bad. Replace it if it is. The Magnatron is held in with a couple of screws on the top and sides. Unplug the connector and remove the screws. Remove the Magnatron. Installation is the reverse of removal.

Both new parts were installed simply by snapping them into the holes used by the old covers. What I did need was the single round headed push pin used to hold each cover in place after they were snapped into their respective mounting holes but, none were supplied with the new covers. Luckily, I was able to secure the old pins from the dam

Defrosted freezer, hose broke due to dry-rot. Used towels to let water drain into pan. Now with the plug minimal frost build-up. No ice at all. Now if I could get a new hose to drain the water that would be great.

Pliers, Screw drivers
Replace (after testing w/ohm meter) diode and locker holder. My door often would not close properly. Microwave let know by saying not shut properly. When disassembled found the top screw mount was hollowed out resulting in it moving on occasion when you close door. First remove casing (special safety torx head) needed for rear screws.

Onc e removed all parts available to view or work on. Diode is on the capacitor so caution is needed when removing. Serious shock hazard if touched. Use insulated pliers to remove from capacitor and a phillips on the ground. Test with ohm meter Should have resistance on way and non the opposite. Replaced mine bad. Next the holder 2 phillips screws and its yours. Unplug each switch and remove. Take note to what wires go to what switch and what switch mounts where. Mine had 3 switches. Removed from old holder and put in new. Screwed holder back in place and left scrws loose till re wired. Once wired set the holder by lightly tighting the screws. Try the door till it seats properly ensuring that all 3 switches are working properly. If so thighten screws. If all seems to work as advertised, safely plug in and test unit if heats up un plug and put cover back on micro. Your all set. Happy heating.
