KBMC147HBT0 KitchenAid Microwave Oven Combo - Instructions

Broke again - same spring - 4th time, maybe 10 years old. Last break/fix was October 2010, so got just a little over 2 years out of a new one. Only me and my wife, so not like it's 5 wild kids and their friends attacking the door. Just a bad design, it seems. But, see my earlier instructions - every time this happens, I order new part, print out my old instructions, wait a day or so for part to arrive (really quick this time - asked for 3-5 days delivery, got part in just 1!!! Way to go PartSelect!!!!), then repair in 25-30 min.

Honestly, I was afraid to order from this website, but after reviews, I placed my order, and 2-3 days later, my glass tray was replaced in my Microwave! I was freaking out because you just cant go back to Sears or Standard Brands and get a new one...everything is on-line. Im VERY happy.

I took the new try out of the box and placed it on the turntable and I was DONE! Took about 10 seconds. The delivery was speedy as promised. I will definitely order from this company again for replacement parts.Very good customer service and communication.

To remove the oven door, you have to slide 2 small nails into the holes in side of the hinges. When you then close the oven door, the nails force the hinges out of the oven box, and the door comes off. Lay the door on a cloth face down, and remove the phillips screws around the perimeter. The door comes apart in layers, with more screws and layers of glass inside. Lay in the new glass, and reassemble. Carry the door over to the oven and push the hinges in hard at the bottom. Lay the door flat to remove the nails. Close the door. Job done.

removed perimeter screws from the bottom side and the lower cover is hinged at the wall side. Motor is visible and easily removed with two screws. Take of the old one, install the new one, and reverse the procedure to put the bottom cover back in place. Will nee helper to hold one side of the bottom until couple of screws can be put in on the other side.
