KHMS145JWH0 KitchenAid Microwave - Instructions

Removed screws from microwave case. installed new grille. inserted screws into holes in case. Tightened screws to secure grille

Arrived in 24hours!!! Great.

Really easy to attach new grill at the bottom first (saw that on another persons installation instructions) then used a Philips screwdriver to attach top of grille in the two places one at each end., not a problem 75 year old gal, If I can do it you can do it...

Removed the three screws on the side popped the whole panel off, unscrewed the handle and used those screws for the new handle. Removed and transferred the glass panel held down with hot glue. Popped the new panel back on the door and screwed the three screws back in to hold. Took about twenty minutes.

Removed old outer door skin carefully so as not to break inner door or attached glass. 3 screws removed for new door skin and 2 screws need to be removed for the door handle that was not broke. Use same screws and replace on new door skin. Most of the new door skin snaps into place and is secured with the old screws. Easy maybe 15 min. to complete. Needed to pry old door skin off with flat head screw driver carefully.

remove old vent that was held in place by clips and two screws re-installed. Only problem is that should have ordered new clips was not aware that they did not come with the new vent

Twas really easy considering that all I had to do was place the plate back in the microwave. Easy Peasey

Tray arrived in a short period of time and was a perfect match.

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.

Not so sure this would qualify as "instructions", but I only needed a screwdriver because the "D" rings of the old vent filters broke off and I had to pry to old ones out. Keep in mind, I am mechanically disadvantaged and can barely change an A/C filter ... that being said, all I did for this order was input my Model number and PartSelect found the correct replacement part. I receive the parts super quick (faster than the other 2 purchases I did that day). The only bummer was the packaging ... super huge box for small tiny parts. Otherwise, I now know where to go for replacement parts. This project should be a "no-brainer" for most DYI's, so getting the right parts with just a model number was lifesaving for me :0)

Remove old filter & insert replacement filters

Remove the screws holding the bottom vent plate to the upper unit, using a Phillips head screwdriver. Loosen a front screw last, but don't remove it. While supporting the plate in one hand, unscrew the final screw with the other. Lower the front of the bottom plate - tabs in the rear will prevent the plate from falling out. Bend the outer tabs holding the old filters in place, to allow them to be slid out. Insert the new filters & bend the tabs back into locking position. Raise the bottom plate and finger tighten a front screw. Replace and tighten all screws. This is also a simple way to remove/clean/replace the mesh filters. I've pulled the D-rings off trying to slide them out from below.

Simply placed new dish on the rotating hub.

I just looked at the broken one to see where it broke and looked at the microwave. I realized that there were two screws that were supposed to hold the vent grill along with 3 slots on the bottom. I inserted the slots on the bottom into the preset spaces for them, lined up the top with the two screws and screwed them into place. Checked to make sure the screws were not too tight and that was it. New vent grill in place and ready to go.

Removed cover (lots of screws), Removed base, Removed inside covers to epose transformer, HV diode, capacitor and Magnetron. Removed HV transformer and labeled wires. Removed door switch. Removed Magnetron and replaced. Re-installed door switch and HV transformer. Connected wires and re-installed internal covers. Installed base and tested unit. Installed cover and re-installed Microwave. Has been running a week just fine. Take a lot of pictures with your phone during the whole process. This will help with getting things back exactly as factory.
