Broken handle
Used plastic putty knife to pop the inside part of door out. Its plastic with tabs that grab the outer part of the door. Removed old handle & replaced. Keep & re-use old screws. New ones too long.
Fortunately I found a repair video on the internet which described how to get the internal facia piece out of the door to get access to the handle screws. Once I knew how to do that the rest was simple.
I found an exploded view diagram of of my microwave model which was very helpful. You need only remove outside metal skin by removing 4 screws on either side and 4 more on the back. Remove 4 plastic hole plugs from the top mounting inserts. Gently pull sides out and lift up and back to remove outer skin. The fuse is located on the back right corner behind the control panel. You access from the side. The fuse is under the spreader bar. Lift fuse up gently to remove.
P.S. It was the MSP Capaciter and or the interlock switch, snap apart 21A (19) failure that actually caused the ceramic fuse to blow.
removed frame, took screws out of top and bottom holes, pulling inside frame away from inside of door, aligned handle, put screws back in (difficult, not much room to work), snapped inside frame back in to place and replaced plastic frame to top, sides and bottom of door. I must say that this is the second time in less than a year that I have had to replace the handle and the screws enclosed with the handle are too long. If you screw them all the way in, they go through the handle on the outside of the door. I was not pleased that the handle lasted less than a year and it was $60. But that is the only problem I have had with this microwave.
took frame away from inside of door - removed old handle - attached new handle. On line informationa and directions were very helpful, however it would have been better if instructions were sent with part. Also, screws on new handle were too long for door and started to go through the handle, damaging new handle so had to use old screws from old handle.
bulb burned out light that is under the microwave, which lights the oven below.
thank you for the video--very clear, responsible, applicable although the illustration was not exactly of our kind of light. the bulb was exactly like the one Hotpoint used in its microwave made in 1989! I will come back to you for parts in the future. (You have the model # from my original order.)
Under the microwave there are two light bulbs that light up the top of the oven/range.
Last week I removed the glass cover that was held in by one screw and removed the burnt out light bulb. I ordered the bulb and left the glass cover off until the bulb arrived. I had to wait until this evening to put the glass cover back on and fasten the screw because I have a window right next to the oven and the sun streaming in made it too difficult for me to see how to put the glass back in and replace the screw.
I took the cabinet off and saw where the switch had been burnt. So I remove it and order another one from your company. And I put new clips on it with heat shrinks. We might get another 30 years out it, Although I'm 80 years old.
Right hand surface lamp burned out. It apparently fald up and broke the glass cover. I wne on line when I found out the only local deaaler was some miles away and more expensive.
Simple. The parts came instantly. The glass was too big so I had it cut to size. I unscrewed the fixture with a screw driver replaced the bulb and slipped the glass cover into the frame and screwed the whole assembly in.
