The push button control panel is loose ,looks like the locking tabs that hold the panel on are not there,what can i do?
Hello Dennis and thanks for writing.
You might have to replace the touch control PS2369351 or the cover it sits in PS2369356, check exactly which parts have been broken off. Most likely it is the cover that has become loose. We hope this helps. Please contact us anytime.
The door has dropped just a bit and the light won’t go off when you shut it. The door isn’t completely latching when you shut it.
Hello Terri, thank you for reaching out. We would recommend checking the door's hinge screws and making sure that they all are tight. If that is not the problem or if you have already fixed that, then you will have to replace the Door Latch, part number PS979580. If you require assistance placing an order, please contact customer service. We hope that helps!
Microwave turns on, turntable spins
Problem is unit makes at least twice as much noise as did previously
Hello Lee, Thank you for your inquiry. For safety reasons, since the microwave capacitor can still store electricity even when the microwave is unplugged, it is usually advised that you discharge the capacitor before any attempt at repair. We have included a link on how to do so. Researching the model number that you have provided, it could be an issue with the turntable motor, the magnetron, the stirrer motor, and the fan motor. You can test the parts with a multimeter. If you are unfamiliar with how a multimeter functions, we have videos available to assist you. We hope this helps and if you need help placing an order, customer service is open 7 days a week. Please feel free to give us a call. We look forward to hearing from you!

I first removed the top plate above the microwave door (3 screws), then I removed the plate containing the buttons and clock. The microwave has 3 relay switches and they are in a little holder. The holder was too difficult to remove so I just removed the bottom switch and replaced. The microwave started right up.
