How do you remove the door hinge screw?
Hello and thank you for writing.
A damaged hinge on a microwave oven should be repaired before the oven is used again.
Step 1
Shut off the power to the microwave from your home's main circuit breaker box. Push the breaker switch that supplies the electricity to the appliance to the "Off" position for the duration of your repairs.
Step 2
Remove the screws securing the air grille above the microwave door; the type and number of screws vary by brand and model. Pull the grille off of the front of the appliance and set it aside.
Step 3
Open the microwave door. Remove the hinge pin or screw holding the door assembly to the top hinge. Lift the door assembly up and off of the bottom hinge. Place the removed door face down on a padded surface.
Step 4
Clean the hinge areas with a sponge and warm, soapy water to remove any grime or food particles. Dry the hinges with a soft cloth. A buildup of food or grime on the hinges may prevent them from opening and closing properly.
Step 5
Try gently wiggling the door hinges. Tighten the hinge screws along the top and bottom edges of the microwave cabinet if you felt the hinges move.
Step 6
Replace the door hinges if they are bent or broken. Remove the hinge screws from the top and bottom edges of the microwave cabinet. Keep the removed screws, but discard the old hinges. Line up the screw holes on the cabinet with the mounting screw holes on the replacement hinges. Reinsert and tighten the removed screws.
Step 7
Reverse the disassembly process to replace the microwave door. Flip the breaker switch back to the "On" position to restore the electrical supply.
We hope this helps. Please contact us anytime if you require further assistance.

I see you have the complete door replacement available for model khms2050sss2 (p/n ps2372960). Your model number has an extra "s" in it compared to the model number I have on my microwave. Is this door still compatible with my model number? Thank you..

The door handle is broken and must be replaced. Must the door be removed and taken apart to replace the handle? Please provide steps.
Hello Bob, thank you for asking. We have a testimonial on our site from a customer that had installed it. He says: Unscrewed 3 screws on side of door and two on the bottom. Slowly pry apart outside frame from black inside facing door. Separate pieces carefully. You won’t have to completely remove outside door cover if you have a short driver for the two Torx screws holding the handle on. Replace and carefully put back together. Tip: do not over screw the screws, back in, it will easily crack the old plastic. We hope this helps.

Remove the filters and use a Torx driver to remove two screws holding the motor. The wires on on the motor are held in place by a plastic clamp that must be pried open on one side. That's all it takes to replace the drive motor. Everything else that makes the turntable spin lifts off from inside the microwave.
