CME901 Maytag Microwave - Instructions

Removed top and bottom screws from door and simply returned them through the door to the new handle. Considerilng the fact that it mighnt be necessary to purchase a new microwave unit I was delited as to the end results.

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

Husband replaced the bulb

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

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!

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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