My wife was pushing a few buttons with her knuckle (hands were full)and the microwave just turned off. Just like we had blown a breaker. First I unpluged it. Then I removed the phillips screws of the front panel, and found and removed the ceramic fuse. 3 days later I received the new fuse in the mail, and put it in. I plugged the micr

Eight screws off the bottom exposed the cover plate. Easily found the motor location the looked up the item number and verified data and ordered the part. Replaced the motor, tightened the screws and flipped it upright. Plugged it in and the lights came on. Set a time pushed start and smiled! The eagle had landed!!!!

Removed the four face plate screws and set it aside. Then I removed the three screws holding the base plate to the wall mounting. Removed the wall plug and lifted the microwave out. I then removed all the screws holding the cover on the microwave and pulled the case to the rear This left the door latch accessible. Since the old latch

had broken and fallen off, I just had to figure how the new one was to be installed This was very simple to figure out and it took me about five seconds to put the new one in.. Be careful when installing because all the parts are plastic and susceptible to breakage. I then reinstalled the microwave cover and after plugging it in ,pushed it into the wall cavity and put all the screws in to hold the oven in place. I next installed the face plate and every thing was in working order, A very simple project.

1. Remove the trim frame off of the front of the cabinet (4 Phillips screws). At this point, take glass plate and turntable frame out of unit. 2. Slightly lift the unit off the cabinet frame (which is attached to the cabinet) so the feet on the microwave allow the unit to clear the frame and then remove microwave from the cabinet. 3. On

ce slightly removed from the cabinet, unplug the unit before completely removing it from cabinet. 4. Take 2 Phillips screws out of the side panels. 5. Take about 6-7 T20 Star Pin screws out of the back of the panel. (This may require you to purchase this special tip if you don't have it in your toolbox). 6. Slide the microwave cabinet toward the rear of the unit (the front portion clips into the frame ... don't try prying it off because you'll damage the unit). 7. Completely remove the microwave cabinet housing. 8. Be careful not to damage or catch any internal wiring inside the unit while the cover is off. 9. Turn unit on it's back and remove 4-5 Phillips screws holding the bottom cover in place. Remove bottom cover. 10. Now notice that the turntable motor is completely exposed. 11. Remove the wiring harness from the motor (notice which connection clip has the black wire). 12. Remove the one Phillips screw holding the motor to the frame. 13. Clean around the area in case food spills may have gotten into the area. 14. Insert new motor, put Phillips screw back in and attach power connection. 15. From this point on, just reverse steps to re-assemble microwave and put back in cabinet. 16. Test new turntable motor. 17. Enjoy the smile from your wife because she can now use the microwave!

Had to remove 3 screws that held the case in place,it removed easily. The control panel that the door latch was locked into required removing two screws and then lifting up slightly while pulling forward. This allowed enough room to put the new door latch bracket into place. Then re-assemble in reverse order. Total time about 30 minutes.

hardest part was taking the microwave down off of the wall to gain access to the diode. Thought if was the transformer but ended up being just a blown diode. remove and replace and bench test. that part took 15 minutes . moral of the story don't boil water under the side of the microwave that holds the electric components.

The only reason it took over 30 minutes was that the unit is a built in over the stove type installation. The special Philips like screw driver which I purchased was the wrong size. I had to use a small vice grip tool to remove and reinstall these screws. The suggestion to use a butter knife to spread the slot was a good one. The delivery

Since others reported similar problems and it was just the fuse we tried that first. That wasn't the problem so we ordered the Door Interlock Switch Kit. Shipping was very fast! Our microwave had 3 switches. My husband asked how to know which one to switch. I read that one person just did process of elimination. Luckily ours worked
