CME901 Maytag Microwave - Instructions

screwed in new bulb

Unplug the microwave. Then remove the six screws that hold the lower panel which has the light bulb cover and a couple of vent filters. The light bulb sockets are on a fixture that is connected by a quick connect electrical connector. Disconnect that and the whole panel is free to access the bulbs. My bulbs were very fragile and trying to twist them out resulted in the glass twisitng loose with the base still in the sockets. I needed to use a needle nose pliers to remove the bases and then I replaced the bulbs and put every thing back together

Access is via RT. SIDE Panel as you face microwave. There are three screws on the bottom right edge to loosen. After that the side panel slips down and off. the fuse is located in the rear near where the power cord comes in. It is the white ceramic tube 1/4" in dia. and 1-1/2" long. Pull it out like any fuse and replace with new one. Reassemble and you are done!

All it takes is two screws. I had it done before my husband even got home. Honestly, less than two minutes.

Spouse just screwed in the new bulb and reinstalled the light cover plate with the two screws. Took under a minute. Works great.

Husband replaced the bulb

After using glue to repair it and living with it re-cracking for a year. I simply went on line and bought a new handle. The replacement handle arrived in two days. I removed two screws, took off broken handle and screwed in new handle and done.
The diagram of the components on the web site was easy to read and selection of the replacement handle was easy.

Pro tip! Check how many bulbs you need before ordering. Mine only needed two. I got two. I suspect I’ll buy a new microwave before new bulb burns out again. Ordering/delivery was fast. No need to have spare on hand.

I had a son put in the new light bulbs. Rather simple

Used phillips screw driver and was done in less than 5 mins.

Watched a you tube video prior to installing new switch. Followed the video which gave me confidence i was up to the task. After removing the touch pad I found my design was not exactly like the you tube model but I found the defective switch, replaced it and put the microwave back together. Works great. Again watch the videos

Before I ordered the part I took the handle off and super glued it. That lasted for about 2 weeks.

Removed 2 screws and replaced the handle.

Part arrived in only 2 days.

Great service, good price

Used a screwdriver to unscrew the two screws attaching the handle to the microwave door, saving the screws. Cleaned off the surface area of the door to remove dirt and gunk. Unwrapped new handle and inserted screws through door into handle . Tightened screws as much as I could--husband used his arm strength to finish the job that evening.

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