AMV21 Amana Microwave - Instructions

I removed the microwave to install a back splash and found the support edge on the backplate had broken off and was missing. I searched for parts for the microwave and found them on PartsSelect.com. Easy to order, and was shipped promptly.

Once the part arrived, install was simple, lining up the existing holes. The only hard p ... Read more art was setting the microwave up on the bracket due to the weight and awkwardness of the microwave.

Overall a very simple repair.

Unscrewed glass panel, removed old bulb, cleaned glass panel and installed new bulb. Screwed panel back into place.

On top front of the microwave are two Philip's head screws holding the rail on. Remove these screws and the rail snap out the old filter (noting the dark side down) then snapping the new filter in. Replace rail. 10 to 15 minute task.

Ordered the glass tray and installed it. Received the orderin about two days.

Took out the turntable parts to ensure I ordered the correct cooking tray. Matching those with photos of related parts on PartSelect worked great. Put turntable drive and support ring in place and cooking tray went in very easily. Plan to order a second one to have on hand for this rental property.

replaced with new one

Removed the face plate above the door (2 Phillips screws.) Removed existing filter and replaced with the new one purchased. Reinstalled the face plate.

After removing the over-the-range unit (no small feat!) I had to figure out how to open the case (good puzzle!). Capacitor had already discharged, so it was very easy to reach in, pop the old fuse and install the new one! As per your advice, I found out I was a "28%-er"! Upon re-installation, the microwave "sprang to life"!! Thanks, "P ... Read more art Select"!! I was already shopping around for a new machine! (Now if you could only tell me an easier way to re-mount this heavy beast over the stove!!!)

when I opened the back cover of microwave, the diode was kind of blackish blown, since there was light bulb and fan were still working, i thought it could be problem with any one of the components like; magnatron or capacitor or diode, so first replaced the diode and mica at the end of the magnatron duct, there was problem with door switc ... Read more h as well. i fixed that too. Now it is working. It cooks bit faster, Wondering why?

Removed one screw lowered glass cover removed burned out bulb replaced with new one put glass back reinstalled screw. Dune 5 minutes back in business

Glass plate arrived in less than two days. Placed the glass plate in Microwave and presto the microwave works like a charm.

submitted manufacturer info to website and voila! a new glass turntable arrived in 2 days. I don't do well with computers, my 23 yr. old daughter was impressed......couldn't be easier! thanx! will definitely revisit your site

All I had to do was open the microwave door and place the turntable on the designated grooves, wha lah it fit. I am now back in business. Thanks to partselect, I found my replacement, ordered and it was shipped in no time.

I followed the manufacturer's installation instructions. Everything worked perfectly.
