GH7145XFQ1 Whirlpool Microwave - Instructions

First, we had to clean up all the interior surfaces, which was just cleaning. There was no internal damage. Then, just setting the center connector, rotary rollers and glass plate. Simple

Took out turntable and swapped out old one with a new bright and shiny

Very Pleased with Parts Select replacement parts

the new part fit just right. put in place and screwed in with existing screws. like a glove.

Bought a new one. Perfect match, easy replacement.

It took me 15 minutes total - 5 minutes to clean the microwave, 1 minute to install three new parts, and 9 minutes to enjoy my celebratory glass of wine!

PRAY !Pray hard

Unscrewed 4 different screws, replaced the vent & returned screws. Ack to original positions

Slipped in and screwed top on

Other instructions on the site are accurate. The only caution to add is remembering to put the handle back on before snapping the new panel into place. The plastic tabs are flimsy as previously mentioned and fit VERY snugly. Removing the new panel is VERY challenging without breaking it. So pay attention to the repair and not as much to the conversation around you while you replace the panel and you'll be fine.

Took 4 Screw on top off...set bottom in first into slots ..pushed top in under the top of outside cover ...put Scews back in.

Didn't realize this part had two tabs with reinforced screwholes in it. Those obviously had snapped off at some time in the distant past, and I had always removed the grille for cleaning carefully and washed it by hand and replaced it. The clean freak moved in and took this out WEEKLY and all the other tabs were eventually cracked and made the grille unusable; it kept rattling and falling out. When I got the replacement I noticed the broken tabs and replaced the item in a few minutes after removing the debris of five or six tabs and finding a Philips head screwdriver for the apparent screws (in fine shape, they were!) and tab remnants. Good fit, looks like new. Now hopefully the clean freak won't find my screwdriver next week.

Whirlpool Model# MH1150XMS-0 purchased in 2004. I called Whirlpool and they suggested a new microwave. No big surprise - being the thrifty person that I am I wasn’t taking this for an answer. I figured if I had to purchase a new microwave what was $35.22 (part# PS373828 + shipping) if it worked.

I replaced the latch on the microwave door. Once the latch was replaced. I also took this time to make sure that the microwave door was in alignment. Thereafter, I had to adjust the door interlock switch behind the microwave console panel to recognize the microwave being closed. Yes, gaining access to all these areas was a bit difficult but have patience. TADA!!!....microwave is working. #girlsrock

Removed bed two screw replace grill

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
