DM80KB-2 Magic Chef Microwave - Instructions

Old rotary-timer microwave. Model number worn off. Unplug and discharge capacitor voltage. Remove 3 Phillips screws to slide-back, and off the sheet metal cover. Remove front, control panel retaining screw (inside, top of control panel frame) with small socket (8 mm?). Lift up and pull out panel clearing retaining plastic tabs. No need ... Read more to disconnect wiring. Wiggle new button in place with pivot tabs resting in the mounting slots. Check door action before reassembling and returning to service. Local parts supply estimated 10 days to order part. Ordered from PS Friday night...received Monday. Great service!

Removed cover (top and sides) Found problem. Broken release. Removed control and removed old broken release lever. With a screw driver removed the broken piece. Ordered parts from PartSelect and received them the next day. Great service. When we received the parts we put it all back together.

I removed the microwave from the cabinet. Removed the 3 screws on the rear side to remove the shroud. Next I removed the screw at the top of the touch panel. That allowed me to lift the panel enough to remove the original release handle, and install the new one. Works great!
